“…Only OAB patients diagnosed based on their symptoms, and compared with normal healthy individuals. In the study by Panayi et al [15] whose study design was closest to ours, BWT values of patients with OAB symptoms were compared Median BWT measurements of the patients with stress, and mixed type incontinence based on International Continence Society criteria, and those of OAB syndrome were found to be 4.7, 5.4, and 5.6 mm, respectively. In our study, pre-, and post-voiding BWT measurements performed using transabdominal US examinations of the patients diagnosed as OAB were evaluated separately, and compared with those of normal healthy individuals without any urinary system complaints.…”

Objective: To compare bladder wall thickness (BWT) between female patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and aged-matched healthy controls. Material and methods:Thirty-six female patients with OAB and 31 healthy women were enrolled in the present prospective observational study. Qmax and Qave were measured by using uroflowmetry in all of the women in the patient and control groups, and also maximum bladder capacity (MBC), post-void residual urine (PVRU), prevoiding and postvoiding BWT were measured by using transabdominal ultrasound. Lower urinary tract symptoms of the participants were assessed by using Overactive Bladder Version-8 (OAB-V8) and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). All of the data were statistically compared between the patient and control groups. In the patient group, the relationships between parameters were evaluated correlation analysis. Results:The mean age of the patients and controls were similar (respectively, 45.58±12.35 and 44.21±11.60 years (p= 0.68). The mean pre-and post-voiding BWT, OAB-V8 and ICIQ-SF scores of the patients were significantly higher than the controls. In the patient group, the moderate positive correlations between BWT with Qmax (p= 0.02) and Qave (p= 0.02) were found. Conclusion:This study showed that the BWTs of the female patients with OAB are higher than those of healthy women. Further studies should investigate the changes in BWT of patients with OAB after treatment of OAB.

“…Hence, it was forwarded that BWT/DT could be influenced by the work overload of the bladder wall introduced by DO. Indeed, some authors have reported a trend of increasing DT associated with the severity of urgency as reported by Panayi and coworkers (Panayi et al, 2010). Khullar and co-workers analysed the total BWT via transvaginal ultrasound in a group of female patients with idiopathic DO (Khullar et al, 1996).…”

The social aspect of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and the lack of objective diagnostic methods for this syndrome have spurred research into its potential biomarkers which can constitute useful diagnostic tools, while also allowing the evaluation of the intensity of clinical symptoms and the efficacy of implemented pharmacotherapy in OAB patients. Due to the complex etiopathogenesis of this syndrome, the researchers are seeking biomarkers connected with inflammation or nerve growth. The aim of this review was to analyse the latest literature data regarding potential biomarkers in OAB. The most promising opportunities are connected with the diagnostic use of the nerve growth factor (NGF), the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), C-reactive protein (CRP), prostaglandins and cytokines. Despite the most promising results to date having been obtained with regards to neurotrophic factors, it seems that, at the moment, none of these meets the criteria for becoming an isolated OAB marker. It is also suggested that the combined use of several biomarkers will facilitate obtaining the appropriate level of specificity and selectivity to allow their use in clinical practice.

Abstract: Mean BWT is associated with a symptom history of OAB and MUI, higher daytime and nightime frequency, and higher VAS scores.
