Spanish term or phrase: se inció fuga urinaria

"En la cistomanometría se apreció una vejiga de muy baja capacidad y acomodación, presentando una elevación de la presión del detrusor a 50 cmH2O con menos de 40 ml de llenado, y *se inició fuga urinaria* (fig. 3)."

This is from an article on bladder damage caused by chronic ketamine abuse.

I think "fuga urinaria" is "urinary leakage" (¿?) but if so, I don't understand what the phrase "se inició fuga urinaria" is doing at the end of this description, unless it is just to say that there was a leak of urine from the bladder at the end of the manometry procedure.

Thanks for your help!

1 hr confidence:

began to experience urinary leakage

Explanation:
I understand that this was different from being able to feel the urge. See explanation below. A person with diabetic neuropathy may not feel the urge to urinate.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is the accidental leakage of urine. ... Men who have had diabetes for many years may develop nerve damage that affects their their bladder control.
