Diabetic cystopathy affects bladder function, leading to reduced sensitivity and contractility in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, indicating potential autonomic dysfunction.
A study evaluated bladder functions using uroflowmetry in 51 young patients, revealing that 29.4% experienced voiding dysfunction, despite varying metabolic control and no significant differences in demographics.
Monitoring bladder health in type 1 diabetes patients is crucial for early detection of autonomic dysfunction, and urodynamic evaluations can help identify issues and prevent complications.
