Systematic Evaluation of Lower Urinary Tract Sensations to Improve Management of LUTS: ICI-RS 2024.

Neurourol Urodyn

December 2024

Patrick G. Johnston Centre for Cancer Research, School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, Queen's University Belfast, Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK.

Aims: Lower urinary tract (LUT) sensations form an essential part of diagnostic criteria for many LUT symptoms, additionally LUT sensations are used to evaluate the effectivity of therapeutic interventions. The accurate measurement of LUT sensations, however, is severely hampered by the subjective nature of these sensations.

Methods: This paper summarizes the discussions from the 2024 meeting of the International Consultation for Incontinence-Research Society (ICI-RS 2024) regarding systematic evaluations of LUT sensations and the design of more objective tools to measure these.

Article Synopsis
  • Ketamine is increasingly used recreationally, leading to health issues like ketamine-induced uropathy (KIU), which has lower urinary tract symptoms and may affect the upper urinary tract.
  • The 2024 ICI-RS meeting focused on KIU, employing literature reviews, expert talks, and group discussions to examine its clinical and research aspects comprehensively.
  • Research highlights include bladder fibrosis mechanisms, the potential for reversing fibrosis, and the relationship between ketamine use and urinary symptoms, suggesting the need for further studies on the systemic effects and psychological dependency of users.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic event that significantly impacts body composition and alters energy and nutritional needs. This places patients with SCI at a high risk of malnutrition, which can hinder optimal functional recovery, prolong hospital stays, increase hospital admissions, and contribute to the development of obesity and cardiovascular and metabolic ailments in chronic patients. Consequently, there is an urgent need for clear guidance to support clinicians in managing the nutritional needs of patients with SCI at different stages of the disease, including the acute (0 - 4 months after injury), post-acute (4 - 26 months after injury), and post-discharge phases.
