Urodynamic Assessment of Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

Neurological diseases affecting the central nervous system also tend to influence lower urinary function. Historically referred to as neurogenic bladder dysfunction, neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is affected by the nature of the underlying neurological disorder, the patient’s age and sex, and other factors. The role and clinical utility of urodynamic testing in NLUTD associated with Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias are presented.
