  1. Management of Bladder Dysfunction in Aging People Jong Bo Choi M.D., Ph.D. Ajou Unviersity School of Medicine

  2. Change of bladder in aging people

  3. Why is it important? • It is a common health problem with a high prevalence. • It is associated with Psychosocial consequences Medical complications Institutionalization Significant financial burden • It has a huge impact on individuals, their families and society.

  4. Age Related Changes in LUT • Bladder capacity does not change with age • Bladder sensation, contractility :decline • Urethral length, maximal closure pressure, striated muscle cells in rhabdosphincter : decline (women) • The prostate enlarge : urodynamic obstruction in approximately half • Involuntary detrusor contraction increase with aging. • Postvoid residual volume ; 50-100ml • Excrete most of their fluid intake at night • 1-2 episodes of nocturia : sleep disorder

  5. Prevalence of symptoms

  6. Considerable Bladder Dysfunction in aging people

  7. Detrusor Overactivity • 25-75% in patients with LUTS • Causes – Bladder outlet obstruction Partial denervation Alteration of afferent pathway DHIC

  8. Management of DO • Relief of BOO – Surgical, Medical • Avoid possible situation - Cold weather - Food and beverage - Correction of sleep disturbance • Behavioral therapy • Medication – anticholinergics alpha-blockers

  9. Detrusor Underactivity • Types - Decreased contractility (inability of generating sufficient pressure) - Fading contractions (Inability of maintaining the contraction) • Mechanism - Bladder muscle degeneration - Fibrosis - Axonal degeneration

  10. Potential risk factors for Detrusor Underactivity

  11. Potential risk factors for Detrusor Underactivity

  12. Management of DU • Remove potential risk factors such as estrogen deficiency or constipation. • Perioperative catheterization may decreased the incidence of AUR • Medication – Alpha blocker Cholinergics • CIC – PVR greater than 50% of bladder Optimal in spinal cord injury

  13. Management of DU • Control UTI Taylor JA and Kuchel GA. JAGS 2006;54:1920-32

  14. Management of DHIC • Do anticholinergics have same activity in patients with DU as well as OAB patients? • Do anticholinergics increase the possibility of urinary retention? • Is CIC necessary? • How can we protect upper urinary tract? • How can we meet patients’ need? UNKNOWN

  15. Specific consideration in aging people • Polypharmacy • Co-morbidity • Sleep disturbance • DIAPPERS • Hormonal imbalance • Underdiagnosed neurologic disease

  16. Take Home Message • The prevalence of DO is 25-75% in aging people who have LUTS. • Avoidance of risk factor should be proceeded to medical treatment. • UTI can induce detrusor underactivity. • Symptomatic BPH should be treated to prevent bladder dysfunction
