Abstract

Neurologic diseases often affect the urinary tract and may be congential or acquired. The progressive nature of many neurologic diseases necessitates routine surveillance and treatment with a multidisciplinary approach. Urologic treatments may interact with pharmacologic or procedural interventions planned by other specialists, mandating close coordination of care and communication among providers. Primary care and nursing often can serve as the quarterbacks of the multidisciplinary team by identifying when a slowly progressive condition warrants further investigation and management by specialists.
