Abstract:
Neurogenic bladder (NB) is one of the most challenging problems in nephro-urological management in pediatrics. It is an important risk factor of secondary upper urinary tract damage. A complete clinical evaluation is necessary and requires life-long extensive medical attention including invasive procedures that affect patients' quality of life. Potential non-invasive biomarkers would be desirable, especially in the pediatric population. The aim of this review was to analyze two decades of data regarding potential non-invasive biomarkers in the assessment and follow-up of children with NB. This paper summarizes and appraises the knowledge about both biochemical and imaging-based markers in 3 aspects: markers of urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder and renal function, and this paper looks at their prospective application in everyday clinical care.

The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating...
