Urinary bladder wall hypertrophy

MedGen UID:
541533
•Concept ID:
C0268855
•
Pathologic Function
Synonym: Hypertrophy of the urinary bladder
SNOMED CT: Hypertrophy of bladder (111410004); Bladder hypertrophy (111410004); Hypertrophy of urinary bladder (111410004)
 
HPO: HP:0008635

Definition

Increase in thickness of the wall of the urinary bladder. This finding may be seen in conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction and may be accompanied by increased trabeculation of the bladder wall musculature. [from HPO]
