In normal individuals the flow rate depends on the initial bladder volume in a non-linear fashion. A flow rate nomogram taking this relationship into account was developed as an aid in the interpretation of urinary flow rate data. With this approach excellent differentiation of normal from obstructed individuals was achieved. In addition, the variability in a single individual's flow rate over time was estimated to be relatively small and, thus, uroflowmetry may be used to identify changes in outflow resistance after medical or surgical therapy.
在正常个体中，流速以非线性方式取决于初始膀胱容量。考虑到这种关系的流速列线图被开发出来，以辅助解读尿流率数据。通过这种方法，实现了正常个体与梗阻个体的良好区分。此外，估计单个个体随时间变化的流速变异性相对较小，因此，尿流率测定可用于识别药物或手术治疗后流出阻力的变化。
