Urodynamic patterns of normal male micturition: influence of water consumption on urine production and detrusor function.

Abstract

The configuration of the observed pressure flow characteristics of the normal male is suggestive of the "Starlings law" relationship and the pattern of the urodynamic parameters were markedly different from those reported in the current standardization literature, suggesting the need to revise the current concept of normal male micturition. Voiding pressure and contractility increased in accordance with water consumption and urine production.
