Abstract
Aim : To study the prevalence of occult bladder dysfunction among diabetic subjects between 18 to 60 years of age from Tamilnadu attending diabetic outpatient clinic . Methodology : Prospective cohort study . Results : Of 90 patients recruited, 65 (72.2%) were males and 25 (27.8%) were females. ). Overall 37 patients (41.1%) had bladder dysfunction and 53 patients (58.9%) did not have bladder dysfunction. In the urodynamic group, 35 of 45 (77.8%) had bladder dysfunction as defined in the study. In the non-urodynamics group, only 2 of 45 patients (4.4%) had bladder dysfunction. Age of the patients ranged from 20 to 58 years (mean age ± SD - 45.6 ± 8.12 years). Male patients were slightly older than females (46.23 ± 8.0 years in males against 44.2 ± 8.1 years in females). One half of the males and one fourth of the females had bladder dysfunction (P= 0.012) (table 3). Conclusion : Bladder dysfunction is seen often (35/45) in patients with moderate LUTS than in asymptomatic patients (2/45) or those with mild LUTS. Bladder dysfunction is significantly associated with peripheral neuropathy and association with other microvascular complications like retinopathy and nephropathy is not significant.
