Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of urinary tract infection after urodynamic investigation and to identify the involved germs.

Detailed description

Patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury need lifelong urologic control examinations with CMG (urodynamic examination). The manipulation may cause urinary tract infections which have to be treated. Patients often noticed an infection after a CMG examination. Aim of this study is the determination of the infection rate and germs. Also should be noticed the pre-interventional infections and differences between the causing germs. Simultaneously the investigators test the reliability of the quicktest for urinary infection. Additionally the investigators will examine the Quality of Life in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Conditions

• Neurogenic Bladder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	urodynamic examination	Standard urodynamic investigation according to the ICS standard, Good urodynamic practice.Following insertion of 8 F transurethral catheter, retrograde filling of the bladder (20 mL/min) with body warm saline. Current recording of pabd. , pves and pdet., subsequently pressure flow study. Additionally imaging with fluoroscopy to detect possible vesico ureteral renal reflux.
