P1815LONG-TERM OUTCOME OF BLADDER DYSFUNCTION IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims Bladder dysfunction is an important cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to neurogenic causes such as a spinal lesion (SL), Hinman's syndrome, or non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder (NNNB), and valve bladder syndrome (VBS). In this study, we evaluated the outcomes of neurogenic bladder caused by different etiologies. Method Single-center retrospective study of children with neurogenic bladder (NB) over 13 years (2005-2017). Results Totally, 199 children (134 boys, 67.3%) were included and divided into three groups: Group 1 (75, NNNB), Group 2 (64, SL), and Group 3 (60, VBS). Urodynamic examination revealed impaired bladder capacity in 49 children (57.6%), atonic bladder in 1 child (1.1%), and normal bladder compliance in 35 children (41.1%). Additionally, 113 children (56.8%) experienced clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). A significant improvement in the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate and CKD stages was observed among the three studied groups, but the NNNB group showed the least improvement. Children diagnosed and treated during their first year of life had better outcomes than those who presented at a later age. CIC without the need for surgical intervention was associated with improved renal function. Pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis had significant negative impacts on kidney function Conclusion Early diagnosis and management of NB in infancy are associated with better outcome and preservation of renal function. CIC is associated with better preservation of kidney function, while vesicostomy is associated with a worse outcome. Children with NB caused by SL experienced the best kidney function preservation, while those with VBS experienced the worst.
