Urodynamic studies encompass several tests to investigate the hydrodynamics of the lower urinary tract during bladder storage/filling and voiding. These tests include bladder diaries, free uroflowmetry, and post-void residuals, filling cystometry, voiding pressure/flow studies, urethral pressure profiles, leak point pressures, videourodynamics, ambulatory urodynamics, and electromyography. The tests are performed after formulating a urodynamics question to objectively observe lower urinary tract function and dysfunction with the idea of choosing an appropriate treatment for the pathology. Invasive urodynamic tests require appropriate training, as per the joint statement on minimum standards for urodynamic practice in the United Kingdom, and should be performed according to the International Continence Society good urodynamics practice guidelines. It is also important to be able to interpret the traces appropriately and troubleshoot any problems occurring during the test.
