Inflammatory Urinary Cytokine Expression and Quality of Life in Patients With Overactive Bladder

Conclusions To our knowledge, this is at present the only study correlating inflammatory cytokine/chemokine levels in women with OAB with quality of life and distress. Interleukin 1 signified worsening distress, whereas IL-10, IL-12p70, and IL-13 were the only cytokines found at different levels in subjects. Our findings support a larger study in order to evaluate the value of urinary cytokines/chemokines as potential biomarkers.
