Numerous biochemical and electrophysiological studies have determined that the functions of certain receptors and ion channels for which the are in some way aff ected by ethanol . Some of these are involved in the neural control of micturition, and it is therefore possible that ethanol induces urinary retention. Th e aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the concentration of alcohol in the blood and the volume of urine in the bladder measured during autopsy. Th e study was based on autopsy protocol data from 702 people. Th e inclusion criteria were age not exceeding 50 years and a blood alcohol level of at least 0.5 parts per thousand. A correlation between the blood alcohol concentration and a bladder urine volume over 200 ml can be portrayed as part of a range limited by curves asymptotically converging at a value of 3 per mil. Th is phenomenon may be explained by the eff ect that alcohol has on receptors involved in the micturition refl ex, which should typically be engaged at approximately 200 ml of urine in the bladder. Th e lower limit of this range can be explained by GABA-A stimulation as well as the inhibition of NMDA receptors or by decreasing infl ux through calcium channels. Both of these eff ects inhibit the micturition refl ex. However, the upper limit, which indicates reduced urine retention, may be caused by the action of high concentrations of ethanol at the ends of the adrenergic fi bres, causing their dysfunction, or by changes in the intracellular calcium ion concentration.
