Session Overview
Description
This session discusses the potential causes of nocturia.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Understand the different mechanisms leading to nocturia
Nocturia can be defined as waking from sleep to pass urine. There are many causes, some of which are simple (for example drinking too much liquid before going to bed) and some of which are more complex (for example chronic kidney disease).
Nocturia may result from abnormalities of the urinary tract or from systemic diseases.
It is important to understand the causes of nocturia so that a patient can be properly evaluated and the correct diagnosis reached.
