VIVEROS-ELIAS, JM.; GARCIA-GONZALEZ, A.; GAXIOLA-ROBLES, R. y GUTIERREZ-GONZALEZ, A.. Clinical and urodynamic evaluation of diabetic bladder dysfunction. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2017, vol.77, n.5, pp.339-345. Epub 04-Jun-2021. ISSN 2007-4085.
BACKGROUND:
Diabetic bladder dysfunction is one of the most common late complications of diabetes, with a prevalence of 20- 80%. It affects quality of life, causing retention, infections, urinaryincontinence, and even kidney failure. Diabetic bladder dysfunction is characterized by reduced bladder sensitivity, detrusor overactivity and hypocontractility, and incomplete bladder voiding.
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of our study was to evaluate whether the AUA Score and uroflowmetry were effective as simple, noninvasive, lowcost methods for diagnosing diabetic bladder dysfunction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus of 5-year progression that were analyzed through the AUA Score questionnaire, uroflowmetry (residual urine measurement), and urodynamic study. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis (Mann-Whitney U test, Student’s t test, and ꭓ2 test) were employed, with a p < 0.05.
RESULTS:
Forty-one patients were registered, 63% of whom had the following urodynamic findings of diabetic bladder dysfunction: reduced sensitivity (27%), detrusor overactivity (42%), detrusor hypocontractility (38%), and incomplete voiding (73%). The AUA Score, Qmax in free uroflowmetry, and Bladder Voiding Efficiency showed no correlation with the specific urodynamic findings.
CONCLUSIONS:
Diabetic bladder dysfunction is more frequent than is commonly thought. Invasive urodynamic studies continue to be the basis of diagnosing bladder dysfunction as a complication of diabetes mellitus.
