Autonomic dysreflexia in urological practice: pathophysiology, prevention and treatment considerations.

After conducting a literature research, we summarized relevant information regarding the clinical and pathophysiological aspects in the context of urological clinical practice CONCLUSIONS: The most common triggers of AD are those arising from LUT, such as bladder distention and urinary tract infections. Furthermore, AD is commonly observed in individuals with SCI during urological procedures, including catheterization, cystoscopy and urodynamics. Although significant progress in the clinical assessment of AD has been made in recent decades, effective approaches for its prevention and treatment are currently lacking.
