Introduction: Two hundred outpatients were recruited for the study only sixty-five (65) of them were used from those who presented for bladder ultrasound. Masmed F5 4D ultrasound machine with a curvilinear transducer at 3.5MHz of frequency was used for the study. Pre and post void urinary bladder volume, anterior and posterior bladder wall thickness measurements were made on 65 healthy asymptomatic outpatients. There was no statistically significant difference between anterior and posterior bladder wall thickness (P>0.05) however there was a statistical significant difference between pre-void and post-void urine volume (P<0.05). Females were more prevalent in the study population than males with higher bladder wall thickness (BWT) consistent with lower urinary tract infection, the sonographic prevalence of urinary bladder retention was 8(12.31%), consisting of a male (1.54%) and females 7(10.77%) In line with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) assessed at 5% level of significance. The sonographic prevalence of lower urinary tract infection in Biosensors medical diagnostics Wuse ll Abuja was 32.5% when assessed at the 5% level of in-significance (P>0.05), and it was most prevalent in individuals between the ages of 26 and 30. In Nigeria, it is advised that lower urinary tract infections should be diagnosed and treated early in both males and females.
