Bladder Capacity
The prediction of normal bladder capacity aids the diagnosis of abnormal voiding patterns. It is typically accepted that the bladder capacity of a baby during the first year equals the weight of baby in kilograms times 7-10 milliliters.
A study with 200 children (132 with normal voiding, 68 frequent and infrequent voiders) demonstrated that from approximately 1-12 years of age, that age plus 2 equals the bladder size in ounces (? 30 = volume mL). After that, the teenager assumes an adult-size bladder, typically around 400 cc. Clinically infrequent voiding causes an increase in bladder size. Clinically frequent voiding causes a decrease in bladder size (82). Post-void residual is generally accepted as 10% of bladder capacity, taking into account the appropriate bladder capacity for age.
