Abstract
Nocturia, the need to urinate at night, is a common symptom in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Continuous positive airway pressure treatment can reduce nocturia in some patients, but the underlying mechanisms are complex and not fully understood. OSA affects the autonomic nervous system, oxidative stress and endothelial damage. Furthermore, the commonly held theory attributing polyuria to a false signal of cardiac overload and response natriuresis has limitations. A comprehensive approach to the management of nocturia in OSA, considering factors such as comorbidities, medication use, alcohol consumption and lifestyle, is needed. Effective management of nocturia in OSA requires a multidisciplinary approach, and urologists should be aware of the potential effect of OSA on physiology and refer patients for further testing at a sleep centre. In addition to continuous positive airway pressure, other interventions such as oral appliances and surgical obstruction treatment could be beneficial for some patients. Overall, understanding the complex interplay between OSA and nocturia is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The aim of this review is to discuss the link between menopause and nocturia and to give an overview of the increasing prevalence, risk factors, causative factors, treatment needs and options for nocturia in peri-menopausal women. METHODS This opinion article is a narrative review based on the expertise and consensus of a variety of key opinion leaders, in combination with an extensive literature review. This literature search included a thorough analysis of potential publications on both the PubMed Database and the Web of Science and was conducted between November 2022 and December 2022. The following key words were used "nocturia" and "menopause" or "nocturnal frequency and menopause." Moreover, key words including "incidence," "prevalence," "insomnia," "estrogen therapy," "metabolic syndrome," and "hot flushes" were used in combination with the aforementioned key words. Last, the reference lists of articles obtained were screened for other relevant literature. RESULTS The perimenopause can be a trigger for inducing nocturia. Typically, obesity, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference are risk factors for developing peri-menopausal nocturia. Presumably the development of peri-menopausal nocturia is multifactorial, with interplay among bladder, sleep, and kidney problems due to estrogen depletion after the menopause. First, impaired stimulation of estrogen receptors in the urogenital region leads to vaginal atrophy and reduced bladder capacity. Moreover, menopause is associated with an increased incidence of overactive bladder syndrome. Second, estrogen deficiency can induce salt and water diuresis through blunted circadian rhythms for the secretion of antidiuretic hormone and the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Additionally, an increased incidence of sleep disorders, including vasomotor symptoms and obstructive sleep apnea signs, is observed. Oral dryness and a consequent higher fluid intake are common peri-menopausal symptoms. Higher insulin resistance and a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases may provoke nocturia. Given the impact of nocturia on general health and quality of life, bothersome nocturia should be treated. Initially, behavioral therapy should be advised. If these modifications are inadequate, specific treatment should be proposed. Systemic hormone replacement is found to have a beneficial effect on nocturia, without influencing sodium and water clearance in patients with nocturnal polyuria. It is presumed that the improvement in nocturia from hormonal treatment is due to an improvement in sleep disorders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nocturia is a common urinary complaint among patients presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms and in recent years, there is a greater emphasis to tailor the treatment for nocturia in a more holistic and multidisciplinary manner given the potential multifactorial causes for nocturia. AREAS COVERED Current oral drug therapies can be classified into three main groups, namely, decreasing polyuria, targeting bladder capacity, and improving sleep-wake and circadian rhythm. The authors focus this article on these oral therapies and provide their expert opinion. EXPERT OPINION Treatment strategies should always involve lifestyle changes and behavioral modifications, with the targeted treatment of underlying medical conditions that may cause nocturia. Desmopressin remains the only drug approved specifically for the treatment of nocturia. Medications targeting the bladder and prostate can have secondary benefits in minimizing nocturnal frequency and urgency especially if the drug is taken at nighttime. Treatment of an underlying sleep disorder or circadian disorder can often help to increase total sleep time and quality, and perhaps reducing the nocturnal diuresis and nocturia episodes. Future studies in nocturia should improve the identification and diagnosis of underlying mechanisms that lead to nocturia, so treatment can become more streamlined, while at the same time, explore the role of various pharmacotherapeutic agents and novel therapy to reduce or eliminate nocturia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Nocturia, defined as the act of waking to pass urine during sleeping, is a common problem in older women and is associated with significant morbidity and impairments in health-related quality of life. The aim of this review was to synthesize the current evidence regarding the incidence, impact, pathophysiology, and specific diagnostic approach of nocturia in the postmenopausal population. METHODS We searched PubMed and Web of Science databases to identify relevant studies published through June 2020. Reference lists of the reviews obtained were screened for other articles deemed pertinent by the authors. RESULTS Genitourinary symptoms attributed to the menopause have been reported to occur in nearly 90% of postmenopausal women, and nocturia is one of the most common. The relative deficiency in endogenous estrogen production after the menopause is thought to exacerbate all major pathophysiological mechanisms that may underlie nocturia, including reduced bladder capacity, nocturnal polyuria, global polyuria, and sleep disorders. Diminished estrogen may induce anatomical and physiological bladder changes, contributing to a reduction in functional bladder capacity. Excess nocturnal urine production can also be provoked by estrogen depletion, either via free water-predominant diuresis by an impaired secretion of antidiuretic hormone, or a salt-predominant diuresis owing to diminished activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. Additionally, a relationship between the transition to menopause and impaired sleep has been described, mediated by increased incidence in vasomotor symptoms and obstructive sleep apnea signs during the menopause. CONCLUSION Further research is necessary to better characterize and manage nocturia in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the medical management of nocturnal polyuria, including antidiuretic replacement therapy as well as other emerging modalities, with particular emphasis on areas of active investigation and future research directions. Relative to earlier formulations, the pharmacological profiles of novel desmopressin acetate nasal spray and orally disintegrating tablet formulations appear favorable in optimizing the balance between efficacy and safety. Additionally, several highly selective small-molecule arginine vasopressin 2 receptor agonists are under active development, while appropriately timed short-acting diuretics, pharmacotherapy for hypertension, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and sex hormone replacement therapy are also a focal point of extensive ongoing nocturnal polyuria research. Emerging laboratory technologies now make feasible a sub-stratification of nocturnal polyuria patients into substrate-based phenotypes for individualized treatment. An increasingly refined understanding of the pathogenesis of nocturnal polyuria, and arginine vasopressin dysregulation in particular, has also introduced new opportunities for point-of-care testing in patients with nocturnal polyuria.

Abstract
Introduction Desmopressin is an effective and safe therapy for nocturia caused by nocturnal polyuria. However, many physicians are unsure about the proper diagnosis of nocturnal polyuria and the identification of patients who may benefit from desmopressin treatment. Therefore, to support urologists in their routine clinical practice, the aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive paradigm for diagnosing nocturnal polyuria with recommendations for the use of desmopressin. Material and methods A multidisciplinary group of experts reviewed the available literature. Findings were compiled into a practice-based approach for workup and treatment. Results We designed the nocturia diagnostic pathway to confirm nocturnal polyuria, identify possible causes of nocturnal polyuria, and classify patients with indications and contraindications for desmopressin therapy. A bladder diary remains a basic diagnostic tool. Underlying conditions that may lead to nocturnal polyuria include mainly cardiac insufficiency, arterial hypertension, chronic kidney failure, obstructive sleep apnea, peripheral edema, and excessive fluid intake at night. Treatment for nocturia caused by nocturnal polyuria is based on conservative management and pharmacotherapy, but pharmacological treatment should not precede a prior attempt at conservative treatment. Before administration of desmopressin, patients should be assessed for serum sodium concentration and carefully educated about the symptoms of hyponatremia. Older individuals or persons with risk factors for the development of hyponatremia should be checked regularly for hyponatremia during desmopressin therapy. Conclusions People with nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria should be evaluated carefully before initiating desmopressin treatment. Patients treated with desmopressin should be followed for both clinical efficacy and treatment-related adverse effects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limited literature concerning nocturia in early postmenopausal women is available. However, due to the lack of endogenous estrogen in these women, an increased prevalence of nocturia is expected. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective observational trial recruited 210 'early' postmenopausal women consulting the Ghent University menopause clinic. Postmenopausal status was biochemically confirmed. Women completed 3 questionnaires: the ICI questionnaire on nocturia (ICIQ-N); 'Targeting the individual's Aetiology of Nocturia to Guide Outcomes' (TANGO) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Moreover, information concerning women's age, anthropometrics and lifestyle was collected. Nocturia was defined as two or more nocturnal voids. RESULTS Nocturia was reported in 24.8% (52/210) of the postmenopausal women. Bother increased with every nocturnal void. Women with two or more nighttime voids were found to have significantly increased prevalence of urgency compared with women with only one (p < 0.001; 38.5% versus 22.7%). Trouble initiating sleep at the start of the night and insomnia during the night were significantly different in women with a different nocturnal frequency (initiating sleep p = 0.09, no voids 34.4 %, 1 void 39.2 %, ≥ 2 voids 53.8 %; insomnia p < 0.001; no voids 1.6%, 1 void 22.7 %, ≥ 2 voids 53.8 %). In addition to bladder and sleep dysfunctions, waist circumference was a risk factor for nocturia (OR 1.04; 95 % CI: 1.01-1.08). CONCLUSION Nocturia is an important problem in early postmenopausal women, affecting a quarter of the questioned women. Etiology of nocturia in this population is multifactorial as estrogen withdrawal is accompanied by bladder and sleep dysfunctions.

Abstract
Urea is the most abundant and the largest contributing factor for urine osmolality. Urinary urea excretion is highly interrelated with dietary protein intake. Accordingly, an increase of urinary urea excretion due to high protein diet may lead to urea-induced osmotic diuresis. This study aims to explore the association between nocturnal polyuria (NP) and urea. This is a post hoc analysis of a prospective observational study of subjects who completed a renal function profile between October 2011 and February 2015 (n = 170). Each subject underwent a 24 h urine collection, which included 8 urine samples collected at 3 h intervals. Urine volume, osmolality, creatinine, urea and sodium were determined. Urinary urea excretion was used to estimate dietary protein intake. Compared to the control group, subjects with NP exhibited significantly higher nighttime urea and sodium excretion. Estimated evening dietary protein intake was correspondingly significantly higher amongst the NP subgroup. Nighttime diuresis rate was positively associated with age and nighttime free water clearance, creatinine clearance, sodium excretion, and urea excretion in NP subjects. Therefore, increased nocturnal urinary urea excretion may reflect an additional important mediator of nocturia owing to excess nocturnal urine production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years prostate artery embolization (PAE) evolved into a clinically established minimally invasive endovascular treatment option for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostate syndrome (BPS). METHODS In this interdisciplinary position paper, initiated by the steering group for research of the German Society for Interventional Radiology (IR), the method of PAE is presented and discussed in the context of current evidence. RESULTS PAE is a safe IR procedure for the treatment of BPS. In terms of symptom relief, measured with the IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score), the PAE has comparable effect, similar to the historic gold standard, transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate. With regard to reducing subvesical obstruction PAE is inferior to TUR, but does not limit subsequent surgery. Based on current evidence, PAE is recommended by the British National Institute for Health and Care Excellence as an alternative therapy. The feasibility under local anaesthesia and the preservation of sexual function are important arguments for patients in favour of interventional therapy. Patient selection and therapy concepts require close interdisciplinary collaboration between urologists and radiologists. CONCLUSION Effectiveness and safety of PAE for the treatment of BPS are proven. Further randomized trials should focus on long term outcome and help to identify most suitable indications for PAE. KEY POINTS · PAE, an endovascular procedure, is a patient-friendly, minimally invasive, alternative therapy option of the BPS. · PAE can reduce the symptoms of the lower urinary tract (LUTS), comparable to transurethral resection (TUR). The deobstructive and volume-reducing potential of the PAE is inferior to that of the TUR. · The main advantages of PAE are use of local anesthesia (no general anesthesia required), short patient recovery and maintenance of sexual function, including antegrade ejaculation.. · Based on current evidence PAE should be considered after conservative drug therapy and before TUR.. · The role of PAE in the context of other minimally invasive procedures (MIST) requires further evaluation with an open minded approach towards PAE.. · PAE is carried out by interventional radiologists, usually on a referral basis from urologists, and requires close interdisciplinary cooperation..

Abstract
CONTEXT Nocturia is among the most common and bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), but there is no clear consensus on how to identify and manage this symptom in the neurological population. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the literature about nocturia in neurological patients. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Studies were identified by electronic search of Cochrane and Medline databases. The studies were included if their participants had acquired neurological pathology among multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease (PD), stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), and reported data on the epidemiology, aetiology, diagnosis, or treatment of nocturia. An independent extraction of the articles was performed by two authors using predetermined datasets, including quality-of-study indicators. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 132 studies were included; 46 evaluated the epidemiology of nocturia, 28 the possible aetiologies, 10 the diagnostic tools, and 60 the treatments. Nocturia prevalence ranged from 15% to 96% depending on the pathology and definition used. It was one of the most frequently reported LUTS in PD and stroke patients. Several validated questionnaires were found to screen for nocturia in this population. Causalities were numerous: LUT, renal, sleep, cardiovascular dysfunctions, etc. Treatments targeted these mechanisms, with an overall risk of bias assessed as high or serious. The highest level of evidence was seen in MS patients: pelvic floor muscle training, cannabinoids, and desmopressin were effective, but not melatonin. In stroke patients, transcutaneous sacral and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) improved nocturia; in PD patients, TTNS, solifenacin, and rotigotine did not. CONCLUSIONS Nocturia is highly prevalent in patients with neurological disorders. Causalities and treatments are not different from the general population, but are poorly studied in neurological patients. PATIENT SUMMARY In this report, we looked at the published studies about nocturia-the fact of waking to void during the hours of sleep-in patients with neurological diseases. We found that nocturia is very frequent in this population, that the causes are the same as in the general population but may be combined, and that treatments are also the same but have an overall weak level of evidence. We conclude that more research is needed on this topic.

Abstract
Aim: This narrative review investigates the effect of dietary intake on nocturnal voiding severity. The primary aims of this review are to provide a framework for future research and ultimately contribute to more comprehensive, lifestyle-centered guidelines for the management of nocturia. Methods: A literature search was conducted in Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases using the keywords “nocturia”, “diuresis”, “natriuresis”, “food”, “diet”, and “nutrients”. Results: High fruit and vegetable consumption was negatively associated with nocturia. High intake of tea and dietary sodium showed a positive association with nocturia. Several foods have also been directly linked to changes in diuresis rate, glycemic control, and endogenous serum melatonin concentration, offering potential mechanisms for this observed effect. Overall quality of the evidence was low. Conclusion: At present, there is limited evidence to suggest that certain foods, electrolytes, and specific compounds may contribute to the pathogenesis of nocturia. A greater understanding of the impact of food and nutrients on body fluid metabolism is needed to further refine the evaluation and treatment of nocturia.

Abstract
AIMS Male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common and bothersome symptoms in the aging population, of which the etiology is multifactorial. Prostatic surgery may be considered to alleviate some of these LUTS, especially in patients in which benign prostatic obstruction is believed to be the underlying cause. The aim of this paper is to discuss underlying pathophysiology, signs, and conditions that may lead to success or failure after prostatic surgery in male patients with LUTS. METHODS The paper is a report of presentations and subsequent discussions at the annual International Consultation on Incontinence Research Society, in June 2018 in Bristol. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Unfavorable outcomes after prostatic surgery are reported in 25% to 30% of the patients. This may be due to persistent or de novo symptoms, related to the multifactorial origin of symptoms. Specific underlying conditions such as with detrusor overactivity, detrusor underactivity, and nocturnal polyuria are discussed in their relationship with prostatic surgery. Knowledge gaps are addressed and specific research questions proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haptoglobin (Hp) displays three major phenotypes (Hp 1-1, Hp 2-2 and Hp 2-1). Hp 1-1 has been implicated in high blood pressure and salt sensitivity, and thus may mediate excess urine production. AIM To explore the relationship between Hp polymorphisms and polyuria (>40 mL/kg/24 hours). METHODOLOGY Post hoc analysis of a prospective observational study of subjects who completed a renal function profile between October 2011 and February 2015 (n = 170). Hp phenotypes were determined by starch gel electrophoresis using haemoglobin-supplemented serum. The distribution of Hp phenotypes in subjects with and without polyuria was compared to a reference group of the same geography and ethnic composition. Diuresis rate, sodium clearance and free water clearance were compared within and between phenotypes. RESULTS The Hp1 allele frequency was significantly overexpressed in subjects with polyuria compared to the reference group (0.500 vs 0.400, P < .05). Consistently, the Hp 1-1 phenotype was more prevalent in subjects with polyuria compared to the reference group (28% vs 16%, P < .05). In contrast to Hp 2-1/2-2, Hp 1-1 demonstrated no circadian variation in diuresis rate, sodium clearance or free water clearance. A significant association between plasma Hp concentration and 24-hours sodium clearance was observed in Hp 1-1 subjects without polyuria (β = 0.222; 95% CI 0.003-0.441; P = .047). CONCLUSION The Hp1 allele was more frequent in subjects with polyuria, and participants with the Hp 1-1 phenotype were at greater risk for polyuria. Hp 1-1 subjects demonstrated an altered ability to concentrate urine with a slower continuous excretion of sodium throughout the day. Plasma Hp concentration of Hp 1-1 was positively correlated with 24-hours sodium clearance in subjects without polyuria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence and characteristics of toileting-related falls in hospitalised older people. METHODS Retrospective analysis of falls related to night-time toileting in patients 60 years or over in a tertiary hospital during a one-year period. RESULTS Overall 34% of falls were related to toileting with at least 44% of these falls occurring during the night. Toilet-related falls peaked between 11 pm and 1 am, a period that coincides with maximum supine-induced diuresis. Almost half of night falls occurred at the bedside. In 80% of night toileting-related falls, patients were mobilising without the recommended level of assistance. Half of all patients had no strategies for toileting documented in their care plan. CONCLUSION Findings support screening for nocturia in older inpatients and implementation of strategies to reduce both the need for toileting at night and risk factors for falling.

Abstract
Nocturia is a bothersome, multifactorial condition with many underlying causes and contributing factors. Nocturnal polyuria (NP; overproduction of urine at night) is a frequent component. The prevalence of nocturia increases with age; specific estimates of prevalence are influenced by frequency thresholds used to define it. There is a tendency toward higher prevalence in young women than young men, which is reversed in later life. The association between frequency of nocturnal voiding and sleep disruption is well-documented. Nocturia correlates strongly with shorter sleep during the first part (2-4 hours) of the night, during which the first nocturnal void often occurs. A short time to first void after sleep onset (often referred to as "first uninterrupted sleep period") is associated with increased daytime dysfunction and decreased sleep quality and/or sleep efficiency. Adverse health consequences related to nocturia include poor sleep, depression, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of morbidity, mortality, falls, and fractures; studies have been able to establish a causal role for nocturia in only some of these. The potential impact of nocturia on health increases with age. By age 80, 80% of people will rise at least once per night to void. Despite its associated bother, nocturia is often accepted as a natural consequence of aging and many people do not seek help. Women, in particular, may be reluctant to report nocturia. This article reviews the prevalence of nocturia, possible impact on sleep, mortality and morbidity, and falls, and its importance in the elderly/frail population and women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with nocturia have to face many hurdles before being diagnosed and treated properly. The aim of this paper is to: summarize the nocturia patient pathway, explore how nocturia is diagnosed and treated in the real world and use the Delphi method to develop a practical algorithm with a focus on what steps need to be taken before prescribing desmopressin. METHODS Evidence comes from existing guidelines (Google, PubMed), International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society (ICI-RS) 2017, prescribing information and a Delphi panel (3 rounds). The International Continence Society initiated this study, the authors represent the ICI-RS, European Association of Urology, and Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU). RESULTS Diagnostic packages: consensus on, history taking for all causalities, intake diary (fluid, food) and bladder diary, not for its duration. Pelvic (women) or rectal (men) examination, prostate-specific antigen, serum sodium check (SSC), renal function, endocrine screening: when judged necessary. Timing or empty stomach when SSC is not important. Therapeutic packages: the safe candidates for desmopressin can be phenotyped as no polydipsia, heart/kidney failure, severe leg edema or obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Lifestyle interventions may be useful. Initiating desmopressin: risk management consensus on three clinical pictures. Follow-up of desmopressin therapy: there was consensus on SSC day 3 to 7, and at 1 month. Stop therapy if SSC is <130 mmol/L regardless of symptoms. Stop if SSC is 130 to 135 mmol/L with symptoms of hyponatremia. CONCLUSION A summary of the nocturia patient pathway across different medical specialists is useful in the visualization and phenotyping of patients for diagnosis and therapy. By summarizing basic knowledge of desmopressin, we aim to ease its initiation and shorten the patient journey for nocturia.
