The wasting or deterioration of bladder tissue, synonymous with cystatrophia.
From Greek 'kystis' (bladder) and 'atrophe' (wasting), an alternative form of the medical term for bladder degeneration.
The existence of both 'cystatrophia' and 'cystatrophy' shows how medical terminology sometimes develops redundant terms—doctors debate which is 'correct,' but both describe the sad reality of long-term bladder failure.
