what is a uds in urology
Urodynamic testing or urodynamics is a study that assesses how the bladder and urethra are performing their job of storing and releasing urine. Urodynamic tests can help explain symptoms such as:
Instead of flowing from the kidneys to the bladder, the urine flows backward, or refluxes, into the kidneys. A ureter is one of the tubes that carries urine between your kidney and your bladder. Obstructive uropathy can cause swelling and other damage to one or both of your kidneys. This condition can affect men and women of any age. It can also be a problem for an unborn child during pregnancy.
