Urinary Neurotrophin Levels as Potential Biomarkers for Overactive Bladder: A Case-Control Study
Sponsor: Erzincan Binali Yildirim Universitesi
Summary
Overactive bladder is a prevalent urological disorder marked by symptoms such as urinary urgency, increased frequency of urination, and nighttime urination (nocturia). Neurotrophins, including nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, play crucial roles in the development and function of neurons. Recent research has suggested a possible connection between these neurotrophins and OAB. This study sought to explore the relationship between urinary levels of NGF and BDNF and the presence of OAB.
