Abstract:
The concept of urinary system function decline in the elderly is a novel idea put forth by this consensus, which aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of urinary system function within the aging population.This consensus includes the assessment of various urinary system organs concerning urine secretion, storage, and excretion, as well as the effects of diseases from other systems on urinary function in older adults.Developed through the Delphi method by 47 experts from 42 tertiary hospitals across China, this consensus outlines a staged management strategy that incorporates epidemiological data, etiological mechanisms, and treatment recommendations.Its objective is to standardize the definition of urological hypogonadism in the elderly, deepen understanding of its physiological and pathological mechanisms, and clinical manifestations, while also thoroughly analyzing the combined effects of multi-organ and multi-system pathologies.Ultimately, it seeks to enhance clinicians' awareness of urological hypogonadism and improve the quality of life for older adults.
