    Abstract Millions of individuals worldwide are affected by age-related lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs), including impaired detrusor contractility, detrusor overactivity, decreased bladder sensation, as well as increased bladder capacity often resulting in incomplete bladder emptying. Yet, the underlying factors that contribute to these symptoms are not known and there are few therapies to treat these disorders. Because of the complex pathophysiology, a number of animal models have been studied over the years to better understand mechanisms underlying patient symptoms. Such animal models can aid in the investigation of aspects of age-associated LUTSs that cannot be pursued in humans as well as to develop and test potential therapies. In addition, the search for urinary factors that may be a causative agent has resulted in the discovery of a number of potential targets that could serve as predictive biomarkers which can aid in early diagnosis and treatment of these chronic disorders. Recent evidence has supported a role for chronic changes in mitochondrial function and oxidative stress (along with production of reactive oxygen species) and abnormal urodynamic behavior in older patients. This review discusses new insights into how aging alters fundamental cellular processes that impair signaling in the bladder wall, resulting in abnormal voiding function.

    Abstract The lower urinary tract (LUT), including the bladder, urethra and external striated muscle, becomes dysfunctional with age; consequently, many older individuals suffer from lower urinary tract disorders (LUTDs). By compromising urine storage and voiding, LUTDs degrade quality of life for millions of individuals worldwide. Treatments for LUTDs have been disappointing, frustrating both patients and their physicians; however, emerging evidence suggests that partial inhibition of the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase) with 8-aminoguanine (an endogenous PNPase inhibitor that moderately reduces PNPase activity) reverses age-associated defects in the LUT and restores the LUT to that of a younger state. Thus, 8-aminoguanine improves LUT biochemistry, structure and function by rebalancing the LUT purine metabolome, making 8-aminoguanine a novel potential treatment for LUTDs.

    Abstract Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome is a chronic pain syndrome whose causes remains elusive with no generally accepted treatment. A hallmark of functional pain syndromes such as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome is pain in the absence of demonstrable pathology of the viscera or associated nerves. Patients with chronic pain experience a greater impairment in quality of life than healthy controls. In addition, interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome symptoms can frequently overlap with other conditions including irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety disorders, and a number of other syndromes not directly related to the urinary bladder. Because of the complex pathophysiology, a number of animal models have been studied over the years to better understand mechanisms underlying patient symptoms. These models can include: bladder centric, complex mechanisms and psychological and physical stress models. Such animal models can aid in the investigation of aspects of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome that cannot be pursued in humans as well as to develop and test potential therapies. In addition, the search for urinary factors that may be a cause of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome has resulted in the discovery of a number of potential targets that could serve as predictive biomarkers which can aid in early diagnosis and treatment of this chronic disorder.

    Abstract Ketamine is illegally used as a recreational drug in many Asian countries. Long-term ketamine abusers often develop irritable bladder symptoms that gradually develop into more severe urinary frequency and urgency and eventually into a painful ulcerated bladder. These patients typically have reduced functional bladder capacity, increased bladder sensation, detrusor overactivity, severe urgency, urinary incontinence, and bladder contracture. Ketamine metabolites can cause severe inflammation of the urothelium, urothelial barrier deficits, vascular endothelial fibrinoid changes, increased oxidative stress, and bladder wall fibrosis. A decrease in bladder compliance, urinary tract infection, severe bladder pain with a full bladder, and painful micturition are also common symptoms. Finally, with continued abuse of ketamine, hydronephrosis, ureteral stricture, vesicoureteral reflux, and renal failure may develop. Cessation of ketamine is the mainstay of treatment. Lower urinary tract symptoms usually relapse if patients reuse ketamine after stopping. In cases of severe ketamine cystitis, only augmentation enterocystoplasty can relieve bladder pain and restore normal lower urinary tract function. This article reviews the underlying pathophysiology, clinical characteristics, and management of ketamine cystitis.

    Abstract Lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction is common in the older adult. Aging is associated with a number of both storage and voiding problems which are classified into syndromes with overlapping symptoms. Despite the prevalence and consequences of these syndromes, LUT disorders continue to be undertreated as few therapeutic options exist. Here, we propose that dysregulated metabolism of purine nucleotides results in an accumulation of uro-damaging hypoxanthine (a source of reactive oxygen species or ROS), which provides a mechanism for defects in sensory signaling and contractility, culminating in abnormal urodynamic behavior.
