Purpose: The possible relationship between voiding dysfunction and peripheral neuropathy was
investigated in a cohort of women with diabetes.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 180 female patients in diabetic clinic
over 6 months. Patients with possible confounding factors such as cystocele, cerebral vascular accident
and history of major pelvic surgery were excluded. Of 180 diabetic women, 57 patients had ever
received the current perception test, uroflowmetry and measurement of post-void residual. The current
perception thresholds were determined for 5Hz, 250Hz, and 2000 Hz at the middle finger and great toe.
Results: Based on a cutoff value of percent residual volume of greater than 25%, or a post-voided
residual urine of >100 ml, or a total volume of >500ml, 15 persons were considered as voiding
dysfunction and 42 persons did not. The results provided good discrimination between the voiding
dysfunction and control groups at 5Hz(118.8±63 vs. 67±7.0, p=0.002), 250Hz (163±61.2 vs.128.2±22.2,
p=0.05) in the foot. There were no significant differences of current perception measurements at all
frequency between the voiding dysfunction and control group in the hand. Age showed no significant
difference in these patients (61±2.5 vs. 62±1.5, p=0.7).
Conclusions: According to the evoked sensations of neurometer, our data suggested small fiber damage
in the toe should be correlated to the voiding dysfunction in diabetic women.
