| Popis: | Lower urinary tract dysfunction indicates an abnormal function of the lower urinary tract to the child's age, which can lead to loss of coordinated capacity storage and elimination of urine. It is a common entity in children, although under-diagnosed in clinical practice, and that, besides representing a risk to the upper urinary tract, causes an emotional embarrassment to parents and children, due to urinary incontinence and frustration in dealing with the problem. The acquisition of daytime urinary continence occurs in most children until age 4 and night, until 5 years of age. After this age, urinary incontinence becomes a social problem. Despite the clinical importance often parents are unaware of the symptoms of this dysfunction. This article aims to address the key issues related to the diagnosis of this dysfunction. |
