The Effect of Lower Urinary Tract Electrical Stimulation on Renal Urine Production (diuresis) - a Monocentric Basic Study
The Effect of Lower Urinary Tract Electrical Stimulation on Renal Urine Production (diuresis) - a Monocentric Basic Study
In previous studies, in which the perception threshold and / or sensory evoked potentials at different points of the lower urinary tract were examined and measured by means of electrical stimulation, a clear increase in the volume of the bladder and thus the urine excretion under the stimulation could be observed. This observation is now to be investigated more closely in a separate study, in order to strengthen the observation with further measured data and to find possible physiological connections. A detectable influence of electrical stimulation in the lower urinary tract on renal urine production would have a significant relevance both therapeutically and for the neurophysiological understanding of interactions between the lower and upper urinary tracts.
