Q

Upper urinary tract infection

–renal urethral

A
  • information transmitted by renal and urethral pain receptors is relayed by sympathetic nerves that enter the spinal cord at T10-L1
  • visceral and sensory nerves converge on some of the same neurons, when visceral pain fiber are stimulated, concurrent cutaneous nerve fiber stimulation occurs

Q

-interstitial cystitis

A
  • inflammation without infection
