Abstrakt: Uroflowmetry is the most widely used non-invasive urodynamic tool for most patients with suspected lower urinary tract dysfunction. Home uroflowmetry can produce multiple representative flow readings in adequate privacy condition when patients feel a normal desire. Because of its advantages of decreasing variability, describing circadian rhythms and combating problems inherent to clinic-based measurements, it can improve diagnostic accuracy and predictive value. Further studies are required to confirm quantitative data of patient's preferences and to measure cost-benefit of home uroflowmetry.
