Abstract

      Patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction from spinal cord injury need proper treatment, follow up and care for life to prevent complications including deterioration of renal function, urinary tract infection, loss of bladder compliance and high storage bladder pressure. Urodynamic study is to evaluate the status of the lower urinary tract dysfunction and follow up bladder pressure to guide the treatment. This study might cause anxiety in patients and families because it is not a common procedure and there are some complications from the test. Therefore, Urodynamic Nurses should be aware of these problems and provide nursing care for both physical and mental health in order to decrease anxiety, prevent complications of urodynamic study and achieved effective procedure. This article reviews the basic knowledge of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction and complications, physiology of urination, urodynamic study and nursing role in caring these patients.
