Potassium sensitivity testing (high K+) for diagnosis in patients with bladder disorders is controversial, although it is
considered predictive of increased urothelial permeability. As such high K+, as it diffuses across a leaky urothelium, is considered to directly depolarise sensory

sensitivity indirectly.
