- W2783239086 abstract "INTRODUCTION : Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) have an increasing prevalence in ageing men and women. Men who present with LUTS are investigated for benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), both of which are usually the result of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Bladder outlet obstruction is the generic term for obstruction during voiding and is characterized by increased detrusor pressure and reduced urinary flow rate. However, LUTS alone are not sufficient in diagnosing benign prostatic enlargement or bladder outlet obstruction and other investigations are usually required. In patients with BPH, no strict relationship between LUTS, BPE, and BOO has been found so far. Uroflowmetry is a economic test which provides some information on the voiding function and is easy to perform in the outpatient setting. However, it lacks the required specificity as it is unable to differentiate between bladder outlet obstruction and detrusor underactivity. Conversely, pressure-flow studies remain the reference gold standard test in diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction as they are able to provide valuable information on the detrusor contractility as well as the presence or absence of obstruction. This, unfortunately, does not come easily as urodynamics are invasive tests and require specialist equipment and training to perform the tests and interpret the results. AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To study the use of ultrasound estimated bladder weight in diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction in men with benign prostatic enlargement and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS : Informed consent obtained from all the patients after explaining details of the study. All details were recorded in a proforma as an outpatient procedure. Prospective analysis done with the collected details. All 120 patients who satisfied the above mentioned inclusion/ exclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. International prostate symptoms score recorded for each patients with specified questionnaire. All patient were subjected to transabdominal ultrasonography in full bladder using Siemens ultrasound machine to calculate bladder volume, prostate volume using ellipsoid formula with 7.5 Hz high frequency probe. CONCLUSION : Ultrasound Estimated Bladder Weight can be used as a non invasive bedside test to diagnose bladder outlet obstruction in elderly men having benign prostatic hyperplasia and presenting with obstructive urinary symptoms." @default.
