Background:
Urinary tract infection in children may cause
parenchymal damage due to voiding dysfunction.
Objective:
We aim to establish an urodynamic and uroflowmetry
parameters in Iranian children referred for urinary tract
infection (UTI) compared with normal findings in similar age
group in Iranian population.
Methods:
Two hundred and ninety eight voiding parameters
were performed between 2000 and 2010 on patients referring
with UTI ages between 2 to 15 years. The maximal and average
urine flow rate and urine volumewere evaluated in uroflowmetry
and maximal detrusor pressure in voiding were measured in
urodynamic study. Two hundred ninety eight studies from 236
girls and 62 boys were considered in this study.
Results:
The maximal and average urine flow rate was
measured for both girls and boys. Mean maximum and average
urine flow rate was 25.86 and 10.03 (ml/sec) for boys with
28.12 and 11.10 (ml/sec) for girls with a mean voided volume
of 198.80 (ml) for boys and 207.79 (ml) for girls. Urine volume
showed significant increase with increasing age. Average
flow rate showed close association with maximum detrusor
pressure, maximum flow and urine volume. The maximum
flow rates showed close association with urine volume. The
mean maximum flow rates were higher in girls and boys with
urinary tract infection compared to normal population and the
mean average flow rates were higher in both sexes with UTI
compared to normal population.
Conclusion:
This study showed the higher maximum, average
flow rates, urine volume and detrusor pressure in children with
UTI compared to normal population which confirmed higher
voiding pressure pattern in affected children
