摘要：
Aim To evaluate the association between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) severity and bladder wall thickness (BWT). Materials and methods The study included 155 patients referred to outpatient clinics for LUTS. Patients were divided into three groups due to their IPSS. Group A included the patients with mild symptoms, group B included patients with moderate symptoms and group C included patients with severe symptoms. The patients were again divided into two groups due to their uroflowmetry results. Group 1 included the patients whose Qmax ≤ 10 ml/s and group 2 included the patients whose Qmax > 10 ml/s. Results The mean BWT was 4.14 + 1.03 mm (from 3 to 9 mm). Although there was no difference between the IPSS groups in BWT (P = 0.325), it was statistically significant between uroflowmetry study groups (P < 0.01). Conclusions BWT seems to be significantly increased in men who have Qmax values smaller than 10 ml/s.
