Racial and Ethnic Differences in Urodynamic Parameters in Women With Overactive Bladder Symptoms - Beyond the Abstract
|
| Nitya Abraham, MD |
| This study suggests that minority race and ethnicity may be associated with worse performance on certain UDS parameters. These differences could be due to genetic, disease-related, behavioral, and/or socioeconomic factors. Further exploration of what is contributing to differences in UDS parameters may aid in individualizing and optimizing care in these populations. |

| Does Pre-Operative Bladder Compliance Impact Renal Function after Incontinent Urinary Diversion for Benign Indications? |
| Alyssa Greiman, MD |
| This was a retrospective review investigated whether low bladder compliance prior to urinary diversion for benign indications would impact renal function over time compared to patients with normal compliance. The authors concluded that renal function is generally stable after urinary diversion for benign indications, however, patients with poor bladder compliance pre-operatively and hydronephrosis on post-operative imaging are at increased risk of declining renal function over time. |

| An Overview in Urodynamics Procedures |
| Mikel Gray, Ph.D., RN |
| Mikel Gray, Ph.D., RN provides an overview of urodynamic procedures, which were defined as a set of tests created to estimate storage and evacuation of urine from the lower urinary tract (LUT). These techniques include filling cystometrogram (CMG), uroflowmetry, voiding pressure-flow study, and sphincter EMG. |
