RESUMO
In recent years, the research on upper urinary tract urodynamics has been developing toward digitalization, simulation and noninvasive.This article reviews the physiological mechanism, clinical application and new research progress of upper urinary tract urodynamics. Pacemaker cells are considered to be the basis of upper urinary peristalsis, but the specific mechanism remains to be further studied. The dynamic technique of upper urinary tract is widely used in clinical practice to measure the perfusion rate-pressure relationship. Whitaker test can be used as an auxiliary examination in the diagnosis of suspicious cases. Artificial intelligence, three-dimensional reconstruction and other multidisciplinary integration may be the important means for the research in the future.
