title: Feline urodynamic procedures.
abstract: Urodynamic procedures are those studies which investigate the process of storage and evacuation of urine in the lower urinary tract, usually by recording pressure or flow characteristics in the urinary bladder or urethra. Cystometric techniques, urethral pressure profilometry, electromyography, and evoked potentials have been adapted for use in cats. The applications and limitations of each of these techniques are discussed.
