Progress in urodynamic research on the upper urinary tract: implications for practical urology

A C Kinn

    Urological Research
    |January 1, 1996
    PubMed
    Summary

    Urodynamics of the upper urinary tract are crucial for bladder reconstruction. Understanding renal pelvic and ureteral function impacts managing conditions like stone disease and neurogenic bladder.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Bioengineering
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Advancements in bladder substitution and urinary diversion techniques have increased focus on upper urinary tract urodynamics.
    • Renal pelvic kinetics and ureteral peristalsis are now vital in clinical urology, moving beyond a purely scientific/bioengineering domain.

    Discussion:

    • Changes in ureteral peristalsis during high diuresis, obstruction, and reflux influence the clinical approach to kidney stones and neurogenic bladder.
    • High intravesical pressure can reflect to the kidney, even with competent ureteral orifices during high diuresis, underscoring the need for low pressures in neobladders.

    Key Insights:

    • Upper urinary tract urodynamics are essential for successful bladder reconstruction and urinary diversion.
    • Clinical management of urological conditions is informed by peristaltic pattern changes and pressure dynamics.
    • Maintaining low pressures in neobladders is critical to prevent renal complications.

    Outlook:

    • Refined fluoroscopy, isotopic renography, and manometry techniques hold promise for further elucidating urinary transport from renal tubules to the bladder.
