METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS

摘要

[Problem] To provide a new means for diagnosing interstitial cystitis. [Solution] In order to diagnose interstitial cystitis, this method comprises measuring lysophospholipid, γ-glutamyl amino acids, monoacylglycerol, free fatty acids, or lysophosphatidylethanolamine in the blood, serum, or plasma. In particular, the method comprises measuring the ratio of 1-linoleoyl-glycerophosphocholine, 2-linoleoyl-glycerophosphocholine, 1-linoleoyl-glycerophosphocholine, 2-linoleoyl-glycerophosphocholine, γ-glutamyl glutamic acid, γ-glutamyl glutamine, γ-glutamyl isoleucine, γ-glutamyl valine, γ-glutamyl-2-aminobutyric acid, arachidonoyl glycerol, propionyl carnitine, or 1-linoleoyl glycerophosphocholine to phospholipids. The present invention may be provided as a system or program for diagnosis.
