Abstract
Detrusor Overactivity with Detrusor underactivity (formerly known as detrusor hyperactivity with impaired contractility) can often represent a diagnostic and therapeutic conundrum for urologists. Patients can present with a combination of symptoms, and the diagnosis is highly dependent on urodynamics, which can be difficult in the elderly population typically effected by DODU. This review gives an overview of our current knowledge of this disease. We will highlight the most recent literature regarding the therapies available for DODU. This includes use of mirabegron or third line therapy options such as OnabotulinumtoxinA and neuromodulation. We will additionally share some representative cases.
