Development of novel and non ‐invasive diagnostic markers for lower urinary tract symptoms using urothelial cells in voided urine

ConclusionsThe expressions of Cxs and TRP channels on urothelial cells in voided urine could be related to LUTS. Further analysis of urothelial cells in voided urine has the potential to reveal the mechanism of the LUTS and develop new markers with non‐invasive methods.
