- Abstract
Background: Urinary bladder diseases are one of the clinical problems encountered in our daily practice. The incidence of these diseases rises with advanced age. These diseases are diagnosed clinically and confirmed by various non invasive as well as invasive procedures and wall abnormalities are the most important indicator to diagnose such diseases. All these conditions require medical and surgical intervention. Thereby knowledge regarding normal capacity of urinary bladder is essential to determine the physiologic variation of this organ. Therefore, full knowledge about gross and histological features of the urinary bladder has hard & fast implication for the investigation, diagnosis and further management. With this background the present study has been designed to evaluate the capacity of urine in postmortem human urinary bladder. Objectives: To identify the socio-demographic determinants and to determine the capacity of urine in post mortem human urinary bladder. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive type of longitudinal study. Sample size was estimated by reviewing literatures and by expert opinion and 70 human postmortem urinary bladders fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected in this study. This study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College, Sylhet in collaboration with the Department of Forensic Medicine, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College, Sylhet from 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2015. Results: The age of the cadaver ranged from 10 to 65 years with the mean age of 32.20 (SD ± 14.38) years; 15 (21.40%) cadavers were in the age group of 10-20 years, 36 (51.4%) cadavers were in the age group of 21-40 years and 19 (27.1%) cadavers were in the age group 41-65 years. There were 52 (74.3%) male and 18 (25.7%) female with a ratio of male to female was 2.89:1. The mean capacity was 35.23 (SD ± 7.48) ml. The mean capacity of the urinary bladder was 31.20 ml (SD ± 7.28); 37.92 ml (SD ± 7.31) and 33.32 ml (SD ± 6.13) in the age group of A, B and C respectively. The difference between group A and B was highly significant (p=0.004); between group B and C was significant (p=0.023); but not significant between group A and C (p=0.364). The mean capacity of urinary bladder of male and female did not differ significantly in age group A (p=0.117), group B (p=0.145) and group C (p=0.241). Conclusion: The gross capacity of urinary bladder was found increased with age up to certain limit then slightly decreased in the late age. But the capacity did not differ significantly between male and female.
