Summary

Urinary dysfunction is very common in individuals with spinal cord injury. The urine flowing from the collecting ducts to the renal calyx stretches the calyces. ANS controlled peristaltic contractions originate in the proximal renal pelvis and travel down the ureters, pushing urine from the renal pelvis towards the bladder. The urine bolus delivered from the kidneys through the peristaltic contraction of the ureter creates an image called ureteric jet. Using the Doppler analysis of ureteral jets, previous studies have examined the changes in the ureteric jet pattern in pathological conditions such as the diagnosis of normal ureteral physiology.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Doppler ultrasound, Urodynamic assessment.

The patients included in the study group were given 600 cc of water in the morning and the Doppler ultrasound was performed 30 minutes later

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Urodynamic assessment.

A transurethral double lumen catheter was used to measure intravesical pressure in the urodynamic unit for the patients in the study group immediately after the use of the Doppler USG
