Abstract:
A method for diagnosing a urinary tract abnormality in an individual is provided by measuring the individual's bladder capacity and voiding frequency, adjusting bladder capacity and voiding frequency measurements obtained from a normal population, and comparing the individual's measurements with the adjusted measurements from the normal population. This method removes the influence of total volume voided on these measurements and reduces the range, or variability, of these measurements from the normal population, therefore, improves the diagnostic and clinical utility of these measurements.
