Pathogenesis-based approach to the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with chronic urinary retention
The function of the urinary bladder is decompensated in 15-32% of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia leading to the chronic urinary retention, two-sided hy-dronephrosis and chronic kidney disease. Disturbances in the bladder and kidney hemodynamics and consecutive tissue hypoxia are the main pathogenetic factors in the development of these complications.
