摘要: OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical usefulness of measuring detrusor wall thickness (DWT) as a noninvasive test in women with overactive bladder (OAB). PATIENTS, SUBJECTS AND METHODS We prospectively enrolled 122 dry OAB, wet and no OAB symptoms (control group). A 3-day voiding diary was used to differentiate between OAB. Transabdominal ultrasonography (TAUS) measurements DWT were taken at volumes 250-300 mL maximal capacity by both catheter- natural-filling. Video-urodynamic studies (VUDS) classify dysfunction 88 women. RESULTS The mean (range) age 58 (20-94) years. There 39 'normal' controls, 44 had Of who VUDS, 28 test, 30 increased sensation (IBS), overactivity (DO). among three symptomatic subgroups or urodynamic showed significant difference either natural-filling methods. significantly greater DWTs than controls volume. those If we corrected volume 250 mL, subgroups. CONCLUSIONS measured TAUS without not different did differ status. Thus, measurement is recommended useful diagnostic for DO
