Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A neurogenic bladder is a specific bladder condition that can lead to chronic kidney disease and quite often progresses to end-stage renal disease. The effective management of children with neurogenic bladders requires a multidisciplinary approach, including an experienced nephrologist. Many of these patients require pharmacological correction, and most need clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). This pharmacological treatment is guided by urodynamic data. According to the principle of better prevention than treatment, it is necessary to identify early markers of damage to urinary bladders and/or kidney function, leading to a proper diagnosis and treatment plan to prevent kidney function and improve quality of life.
The goal of this Special Issue on “Advances in Pediatric Neurogenic Bladders: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management Strategies” is to highlight recent advances in algorithms and their approach to pediatric neurogenic bladders, which could be used in data integration and enhancement, improving diagnostic accuracy, personalized treatment plans, monitoring, and early intervention.
