About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Patients with long-term lower urinary tract dysfunction due to spinal cord injury presenting for a routine urodynamic control will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Suitable individuals providing written informed consent will undergo renal Doppler sonography and renal scintigraphy in addition to the routine examinations. Conclusions regarding renal function based on the clearance rate determined by scintigraphy (gold standard) will be compared with the conclusions based on Doppler sonography and Cystatin C clearance.
The 3 groups in the trial
- normal renal function
individuals with renal clearance \>89 ml/min/1.73m²
Treatment: renal scintigraphy and renal doppler sonography
- mild renal insufficiency
individuals with renal clearance 60-89 ml/min/1.73m²
Treatment: renal scintigraphy and renal doppler sonography
- moderate renal insufficiency
individuals with renal clearance 30-59 ml/min/1.73m²
Treatment: renal scintigraphy and renal doppler sonography
