Bladder and ureteral pressure relationships in nonhuman primates.
Bladder pressures during filling are precisely paralleled by ureteral resistance to perfusion. The pressure relationships are identical in normal, spinal and decentralized nonhuman primates, none of which had vesicoureteral reflux. Intravesical and thus intraureteral pressures are higher in animals with neurological lesions, particularly decentralization.
