Pediatric Uroflow Preparation

• A large bottle full of water: To drink on the way to the hospital and in the waiting room. We will try our best to time your test with your child’s need to urinate (pee).
• Give your child all prescribed medicines on the day of the test. If your child is taking Ditropan (Oxybutynin Chloride) or any other medicines for their bladder, give these medicines as prescribed. Do not skip these medicines the morning of the test, as this will alter the results.
• If prescribed, continue with current clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) regimen on the day of the test.
• If your child has a fever (greater than 100.4F°) or symptoms of a urinary tract infection, call the Urology office at 202 476-5042 and press Option 2 as soon as possible to discuss with the nurse or nurse practitioner. The session may need to be rescheduled when your child is well to obtain the most accurate results.
