Urinary nerve growth factor in women with overactive bladder syndrome.
OBJECTIVE • To measure urinary nerve growth factor (NGF) in women with overactive bladder (OAB)-dry and OAB-wet and investigate the association of urinary NGF expression with these factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS • Differentiation between OAB-wet and OAB-dry was based on symptoms and a 3-day voiding diary. • Urinary NGF levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). • The ur...

متن کاملLower Levels of Urinary Nerve Growth Factor Might Predict Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Women.
PURPOSE To investigate the changes in urinary nerve growth factor (uNGF) levels after acute urinary tract infection (UTI) and to assess the role of uNGF in predicting UTI recurrence in women. METHODS Women with uncomplicated, symptomatic UTIs were enrolled. Cephalexin 500 mg (every 6 hours) was administered for 7-14 days to treat acute UTIs. Subsequently, the patients were randomized to recei...
متن کاملLower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Aging: The Impact of Chronic Bladder Ischemia on Overactive Bladder Syndrome.
INTRODUCTION The overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is one of the most common and bothersome subsets of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), affecting predominantly the aged population, with a worldwide distribution. This syndrome has not been completely understood, yet the aging process and the decreased blood flow to the bladder have been highlighted as closely related to this phenomenon. MA...
متن کاملUrinary nerve growth factor levels could be a biomarker for overactive bladder symptom: a meta-analysis.
To examine whether urinary tract nerve growth factor (uNGF) could be a biomarker for overactive bladder (OAB) symptom, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of 8 case-control studies. In all the studies considered, patients with OAB symptom had a higher uNGF level compared to healthy people. In addition, patients had a significantly lower uNGF level after successful treatment. In the subgr...
