Bladder thickness index

In 1997 Kaefer et al. published that the bladder thickness index (bladder wall thickness was indexed to innerwall diameter) is a sensitive sonographic predictor of infravesical obstruction application of this index could be a non-invasive screening tool for the patient with persistent nonneurogenic bladder-sphincter dysfunction. 

According to Leung et al. (2007) nomograms of total renal volume, urinary bladder volume index and bladder volume wall thickness index are described as useful indicators of bladder dysfunction in children with enuresis and urinary tract infection (Yeung et al. 2007).
