About this document
Detrusor Dysfunction in Aging Elderly by NurRahMat is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses age-related changes in the bladder that may contribute to overactive bladder in elderly patients. Studies have found that purinergic transmission increases with age while cholinergic transmission decreases, likely due to changes in the release of acetylcholine and ATP from nerves innervating the bladder. Non-neuronal acetylcholine release from the urothelium may also increase with age and bladder stretching, and could play a role in bladder storage.
