Abstract

Urodynamic investigation (UDI) is the gold standard to evaluate lower urinary tract function in patients with neurological diseases, especially in high-risk patients, when there is a significant risk for upper urinary tract deterioration. UDI is aimed at defining the pattern of (dys)function of the lower urinary tract and should reproduce the patient’s urinary complaints. Special attention has to be given to appropriate standardization of the urodynamic technique since this is the prerequisite for reproducible and reliable results.
