May warrant BP monitoring during bladder distension; leaves open clinical relevance in autonomic dysreflexia.
Does physiological bladder distension increase sympathetic activity and blood pressure in healthy volunteers?
Physiological bladder distension significantly increases sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure in healthy humans, demonstrating a vesicovascular response that may be clinically relevant in conditions like autonomic dysreflexia.
Fagius et al. (1989) studied this question.
