Prevalence and Clinical Implications of Post-obstruction Hyperdiuresis Among Patients with Urinary Retention: A Mini Review.

ABSTRACT: Urinary retention is a common urological emergency requiring catheterization. However, follow-up management remains poorly defined, particularly regarding post-obstruction hyperdiuresis (POHD), which may lead to complications such as hypovolemia and electrolyte disturbances. Our mini review of PODS identified nine relevant studies involving 665 patients. POHD occurred in 15-78% of cases, with a mean duration of 2-5 d. Risk factors included serum creatinine >105 μmol/l (odds ratio [OR] 4.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-20.44; p = 0.032) and greater bladder volume (OR per 100-ml increment: 1.21, 95% CI 1.06-1.40; p = 0.006). Complications included hematuria (11-55%), hyponatremia (22-28%), and hypotension (9%), most of which were self-limiting. Data on management were spa
