Prevalence of "funky" urine in lower urinary tract reconstruction utilizing bowel or catheter-based bladder management

Status: Recruiting

This study is about improving our ability to characterize the prevalence of “funky” urine (i.e., urine with an abnormal odor, color, or appearance) in adults with either (1) a history of lower urinary tract reconstruction utilizing bowel and/or (2) catheter-based bladder management. We also aim to determine the frequency with which such patients receive antibiotic treatment for presumed urinary tract infections (UTIs). This may help us better understand how to help patients avoid unnecessary treatment with antibiotics.
