Dear All,

Though we know many neurological and non neurological based conditions can cause changes in bladder function in neonates and infants and many can ultimately lead to renal functional deterioration. However, we discuss this aspect, mostly in passing when discussions on such disorders are made.

Though we know considerably regarding Bladder function in Adults, maybe to some extent in older children, our knowledge concerning Bladder Function in Infants and children below 2 yrs are rather sketchy.

Normal range of bladder volume, pressure during voiding and other parameters in neonates and infants less than 2 years old is difficult, making interpretation of UDS findings difficult.

These two articles provided will help us understand these aspects more clearly. It should be remembered that both these articles have considerable overlaps and is better read in tandem.

The other article is attached in PDF format

With warm Regards,

Venu
