Abstract Cystometry under rapid diuretic conditions (diuresis cystometry) was performed in 62 women with clinical diagnosis of detrusor instability but in whom during filling cystometry essentially no abnormalities were detected. It appeared that the prevalence of detrusor instability was significantly more pronounced during diuresis cystometry as compared with filling cystometry. Motor urge incontinence could be diagnosed by filling cystometry in only 3 patients and by diuresis cystometry in 23 patients. It is concluded that diuresis cystometry is especially suited for the detection of detrusor instability in patients with a clinical diagnosis of detrusor instability but with essentially normal findings at filling cystometry. Diuresis cystometry takes only slightly more time than filling cystometry, and filling systems and catheters are not required.
