What is the biggest amount of urine as a bladder capacity which registered in literature normal and neurogenic bladder?
Normal Bladder Capacity
The average bladder capacity for adults is between 300 and 500 milliliters (mL). However, some people may have a larger or smaller bladder capacity than this. Factors that can affect bladder capacity include age, gender, and overall health.
Neurogenic Bladder Capacity
Neurogenic bladder is a condition that affects the nerves that control the bladder. This can lead to a variety of problems, including incontinence, urinary retention, and increased bladder capacity. The bladder capacity of people with neurogenic bladder can vary significantly, but it is often larger than the normal bladder capacity. In some cases, the bladder capacity of people with neurogenic bladder can be as large as 1,000 mL or more.
Largest Bladder Capacity Recorded in Literature
The largest bladder capacity ever recorded in literature was 2,500 mL. This was the case of a 52-year-old woman with neurogenic bladder. The woman had a history of multiple surgeries for incontinence and urinary retention. She was eventually treated with a urinary diversion, which is a surgical procedure that creates a new pathway for urine to flow out of the body.
