Urothelial Dysfunction, Suburothelial Inflammation and Altered Sensory Protein Expression in Men with Bladder Outlet Obstruction and Various Bladder Dysfunctions: Correlation with Urodynamics

Urothelial dysfunction, suburothelial inflammation, cellular apoptosis and alterations in sensory proteins are prominent in bladder dysfunction secondary to bladder outlet obstruction. Impaired urothelial signaling and sensory transduction pathways appear to reflect the pathophysiology of bladder dysfunction and detrusor underactivity in patients with bladder outlet obstruction.
