This paper suggests that bladder mucosal lesions following hydrodistension (glomerulations) may be common in asymptomatic women. This brings into question the use of this finding as part of the diagnostic criteria for IC. DOI: 10.1016/S0022-5347(01)62376-0

This paper suggests that the measurement of a urine factor responsible for epithelial antiproliferative activity may be a useful noninvasive means for diagnosing IC. Subsequent papers have provided further support for this assertion. DOI: 10.1016/S0090-4295(98)00488-9
