Abstract
In order to understand the physiological measurements that play a part in urodynamics, it is helpful rst to consider the function of the healthy urinary tract. e urinary system has two distinct functions: the storage of urine for typically a period of hours

and the ecient and complete passage or voiding of urine at a socially convenient time. Symptoms of disrupted storage or voiding go under the generic term of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Many of the symptoms are common to a range of disease processes. Nevertheless, the literature makes a clear distinction between the symptoms and disease processes aecting storage and those that aect voiding.
