ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association between urinary pH and cystometric parameters METHODOLOGY: 102 patients were included and divided into 3 groups, based on urinary pH. Group 1 included patients with acidic urine, ph less than 6. Group 2 included patients with normal pH of urine (more than 6 and less than 7) and Group 3 included patients having alkaline urine, pH more than 7 and less than 8. The statistical analysis was done on Statistical package of Social Sciences (SPSS) and p-value <0.05 was taken as significant. RESULTS: The urinary volume during the initial morning desire to micturate was greater in patients in group II (p = 0.024) as compared to the patients in group III (0.015). The volume of urine during the initial desire to urinate was significantly greater in patients of group I as compared to urinary volumes of the group III patients. (p = 0.006). When urinary volumes of group I and group II patients were compared, no statistically significant difference was observed (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The current study concludes that significant association exists between urinary pH and cystometric parameters including residual urine volume during the period of initial desire to micturate and initial urgency of urine.
