ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a diagnostic test procedure for detecting the active status of interstitial cystitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the bladder. Determination of chemotactic activity present in fluid that has been exposed to urinary tract tissue is performed by measuring cell migration across a membrane in response to neutrophil chemotactic factors in the fluid.
