A member asked:

What is mean by bladder wall thickened? what its complication and treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thick bladder wall. : A thickened bladder wall is precisely as named - the wall of the bladder is thicker than it should be, either in specific areas or throughout the entire bladder. There are several causes for this, some bad and some not. Typically this would be investigated by urinalysis, ultrasound, CT scan and cystoscopy with biopsy.
