Interstitial Cystitis Versus Detrusor Overactivity: A Comparative, Randomized, Controlled Study of Cystometry Using Saline and 0.3 M Potassium Chloride

Abstract

The 0.3 M KCl reduces Cmax in IC and DO, the effect being more pronounced in DO. Urothelial hyperpermeability is not specific to IC. Comparative cystometry using NS and 0.3 M KCl does not help to differentiate IC from DO.
