Mp56-03 are Preoperative Urodynamics Important for the Success of Renal Transplant Grafts?

Abstract

Weak contractility (BCI < 100) 5) Straining to void 6) Poorly sustained detrusor contraction 7) Uncoordinated EMG activity and 8) Intermittent flow.RESULTS: A total of 24 participants completed the study including 10 men and 14 women. The mean age of the participants was 28.83AE11.45 with mean BMI of 26.46AE6.23. ICIq-OAB scores for frequency, nocturia, urgency, and urge incontinence were (0.17AE0.38, 0.33AE0.48, 0AE0, 0AE0). All participants had at least 1 urodynamic abnormality (fig 1) with an average of 4.43AE1.28 abnormalities/ participant. The most common abnormalities included uncoordinated EMG activity (87.50%), straining to void (79.17%), and intermittent flow (70.83%). There were no significant differences for sex, age, BMI.CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that normal, healthy volunteers have high rates of abnormal urodynamic findings. All participants were completely asymptomatic, suggesting that artifacts and the non-physiologic nature of urodynamic testing present serious challenges in diagnostic interpretation and clinical utility. This data highlights the need to develop less invasive and more physiologic techniques to more accurately evaluate bladder function.
