Voiding cystourethrogram

Cystourethrogram - voiding

The bladder and urethra will be normal in size and function.

Abnormal results may indicate the following:

• Urethral stricture (a narrowing of the urethra)
• Bladder or urethral diverticula (pouch-like sacs that develop and protrude from the walls of an organ)
• Ureterocele (the tube from the kidney to the bladder protrudes into the bladder)
• Prostatic enlargement
• Reflux nephropathy (urine is returning back into the bladder)
• Neurogenic bladder (bladder does not respond to feeling full)

Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:

• Alcoholic neuropathy
• Autonomic neuropathy
• Chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy
• Complicated UTI (pyelonephritis)
• Irritable bladder
• Acute pyelonephritis
• Reflux nephropathy
