Post-Void Residual (PVR) Interpretation

Interpret post-void residual urine volume measured by bladder ultrasound or catheterization. PVR below 50 mL is normal. PVR 50-100 mL is borderline and warrants monitoring. PVR above 200 mL indicates significant retention due to bladder outlet obstruction or neurogenic bladder.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
