Sumario:	Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (NBSS) questionnaires and assess their correlation between them. Materials and methods: An observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted, in patients over 18 years of age with a PD diagnosis were selected and evaluated to the urology service, where they were completed the IPSS and NBSS questionnaires. Results: Seventy-five patients with PD were evaluated. The NBSS questionnaire revealed a higher prevalence in the storage/emptying symptom domain. In the IPSS questionnaire, the most common symptoms were storage symptoms, especially urgency and nocturia, with a predominance of moderate symptom severity in both men and women. The NBSS questionnaire is consistent with the information obtained by the IPSS. No significant differences were observed when analyzing between sex or the time of evolution of the disease. Conclusion: LUTS are very common in patients with PD. Storage symptoms are the most frequently reported by patients. Symptoms occur in similar proportions between men and women, and these can occur from the onset of the disease, so early assessment by an urologist should be recommended in all these patients. Objetivo: Evaluar los síntomas del tracto urinario inferior (STUI) en los pacientes con diagnóstico de Enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) mediante los cuestionarios IPSS y NBSS y valorar su correlación. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, transversal, descriptivo, en el cual se seleccionaron a todos los pacientes mayores de 18 años, con diagnóstico de EP que fueron enviados al servicio de Urología donde se les realizó los cuestionarios IPSS y NBSS. Resultados: Se evaluaron 75 pacientes con EP, el cuestionario NBSS reveló mayor prevalencia en el dominio de síntomas de almacenamiento/vaciamiento. En el cuestionario IPSS los síntomas más comunes fueron de almacenamiento, especialmente urgencia y nocturia, con predominio de severidad de síntomas moderados tanto en hombres como mujeres. El cuestionario NBSS es consistente con la información obtenida por el IPSS. No se observaron diferencias significativas en la sintomatología al analizar el género y tiempo de evolución de la enfermedad. Conclusión: Los STUI son muy frecuentes en pacientes con EP.
