“…Three studies were included that reported the effect of a full bladder on BP (Supplementary Table 5) [ 104 – 106 ]. Effects ranged from small to large increases in both SBP and DBP (Table 2 ).…”

“…In the study that found only small effects, participants drank as normal over a mean period of 7 h, with BP measured before and after voiding their full bladders [ 104 ]. The other studies found large increases in both SBP and DBP within 60 min after drinking 1200 ml of water [ 106 ], and after drinking water until the urge to void became irresistible [ 105 ].…”

“…Szasz and Whyte5) reported that diastolic and systolic BP rose in seven normal volunteers, and four patients who were in relatively good general condition at the height of bladder distension during the course of the oral fluid load and retrograde filling tests. Scultety et al6) also observed that BPs were significantly elevated in ten healthy volunteers aged 21 to 56 years when their bladders were uncomfortably full or after excess fluid loading. In all instances, it seemed that the distension of bladder is a factor to elevate BP.…”

The Impact of Bladder Distension on Blood Pressure in Middle Aged Women

et al. 2011

BackgroundThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the relation between the extent of bladder distention and the rise of blood pressure in middle aged women.MethodsIn a cross-sectional, descriptive observational study, we obtained data from 172 middle aged women at a health promotion center of Pusan National University Hospital. We measured duration of urine-holding as the degree of the extension of bladder distention. Blood pressure was measured twice while holding urine and immediately after urination. Urine holding with full bladder was confirmed by abdominal ultrasound.ResultsDifference in systolic blood pressure was 4.2 ± 10.7 (P < 0.001), and that in diastolic blood pressure was 2.8 ± 7.7 mm Hg (P < 0.001) between holding urine and immediately after urination. There was no significant correlation between the urine-holding duration and differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure.ConclusionOur findings suggest that systolic and diastolic blood pressure is increased by urine-holding at least 3 hours after the last urination in middle aged women. Thus in practice, blood pressure should be measured after the bladder is emptied.

Response of urinary sodium excretion to elevated intravesical pressure

et al. 1993

This experimental study was designed to investigate the possibility of an interaction between elevated intravesical pressure and urinary sodium excretion. Fourteen male New Zealand rabbits were used. After performing a ureterocutaneous diversion, urinary sodium excretion was measured in two situations: with the bladder empty and with the bladder overdistended and an intravesical pressure of 60 cm H2O. There was a significant decrease in urinary sodium excretion at an elevated intravesical pressure. The urinary sodium excretion returned to normal after relief of the pressure. The results suggest the existence of a neurogenic pathway activated by the elevated intravesical pressure.
