Does Adenosine Triphosphate Released Into Voided Urodynamic Fluid Contribute to Urgency Signaling in Women With Bladder Dysfunction?

Abstract

Adenosine triphosphate measurement in voided urodynamic fluid is a novel approach to understanding signals that may contribute to the urgency sensation (a sudden compelling desire to pass urine). The inverse correlation between adenosine triphosphate in voided urodynamic fluid and first desire to void suggests that adenosine triphosphate has a role in modulating the early filling sensation in patients with detrusor overactivity.
