“…In another study, similar results were reported. In patients with BOO, tamsulosin treatment significantly reduced bladder wall hypertrophy from 45.5 ± 10.3 to 38.3 ± 13.2 g ( P < 0.05, mean difference 7.2 g) …”

“…The study reported a reduction in mean (SD) bladder weight after 12 weeks in both groups with a decrease of -4.1 (13.3) g in those allocated to placebo and -7.4 (12.7) g amongst those taking tamsulosin, however, these reductions were not statistically different ( P = 0.281). [ 24 ] The wide SD was attributed to the large number of investigators and centers.…”

Objectives:Measurement of bladder weight using ultrasound estimates of bladder wall thickness and bladder volume is an emerging clinical measurement technique that may have a role in the diagnosis of lower urinary tract dysfunction. We have reviewed available literature on this technique to assess current clinical status.Methods:A systematic literature search was carried out within PubMed and MedLine to identify relevant publications. These were then screened for relevance. Preliminary results from our clinical experiments using the technique are also included.Results:We identified 17 published papers concerning the technique which covered clinical studies relating ultrasound-estimated bladder wall thickness to urodynamic diagnosis in men, women, and children together with change in response to treatment of bladder outlet obstruction. The original manual technique has been challenged by a commercially available automated technique.Conclusion:Ultrasound-estimated bladder weight is a promising non-invasive technique for the categorization of storage and voiding disorders in both men and women. Further studies are needed to validate the technique and assess accuracy of diagnosis.
