The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between bladder detrusor weight (BDW) and uroflowmetry parameters: maximum flow rate and voided volume in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. This study proposes, through non-invasive ultrasound measurement of detrusor thickness and calculation of detrusor weight, to identify how compensatory detrusor hypertrophy impacts urine flow efficiency. The results show that BDW is strongly related to reduced values, indicating its value as a clinical marker for BOO. Combining BDW measurements with conventional uroflowmetry yields a holistic diagnostic assessment of bladder wall morphological content and voiding dysfunction that represents an alternative non-invasive substitute for complex invasive urodynamic studies.
