Bladder Wall Thickening

Can anyone tell me what causes diffusely bladder wall thickening?  It showed up on a CT scan that I had yesterday.  Doctor's office called to say that I need to have a cystoscopy which they scheduled for Friday, November 10.  When I asked what could cause the thickening the nurse wouldn't give me a straight answer.  The initial CT scan was for microscopic hematuria. No sign of infection in bloodwork.  Went to see doctor for weight loss(9 pounds)in the last couple of weeks - no pain, just some mild discomfort.  Also unable to keep food down, scheduled to have endoscopy and colonoscopy at the end of the month. Thanks in advance for your help - would like to know what I might be dealing with prior to seeing the urologist and having the procedure done.

Hi
My Dr. said I had thickening of the bladder and put me on pills.
I didn't take them yet. I'm on other pills from a difffernt Dr. and want to make sure they do not have a bad reaction together.  Shortly after
that occasionally I started wetting the bed. I've lost 45 pounds.
Has anyone else had a similiar experience?
Thank you.

Hi I am curious if someone could help me.  I have had Kidney stones for several years after my last baby pinched off my kidney.  I have bilateral kidney infections that put me in the hospital several times a year.  I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago and now they are telling my my bladder is abnoramallly thick and is double in size.  I have trouble uninating and really have swelling and discomfort.  I was scheduled for a cystoscope tomm and the doctor called to cancel.  I have to wait until Oct, 23rd now and I was wondering if I am anxious or should I be worried?  Thanks
