Spectrum of urodynamic abnormalities and renal function changes in adult men with non-neurogenic urinary retention.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to identify abnormalities in bladder and renal function in men with urinary retention presumed to be due to BPH.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, urodynamic studies (UDS) and renal function were evaluated. Bladder contractility and compliance and the severity of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) were determined from urodynamics.

Dysfunctional elimination syndrome is a negative predictor for vesicoureteral reflux.

Purpose: We investigated the likelihood of finding vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs), accompanied by fever or dysfunctional elimination syndrome (DES).

Materials And Methods: Two hundred consecutive voiding cystourethrograms performed in 1997-2002 for a diagnosis of UTI were reviewed. Fever, DES, and the grade and laterality of VUR were recorded.
