Abstract

In vitro animal studies have shown that increasing acidity, within the physiological range, will enhance release of ATP from the bladder [1]. Here, we explored the hypothesis that in vivo urinary pH would affect ATP release during bladder filling. The aim of this study was to test whether ATP release in bladder during stretch is related to the patient’s urine pH.
