J Family Med Prim Care 2024; 13:3195-3202. [PMID: 39228634 PMCID: PMC11368317 DOI: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_231_24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Hypertension (HTN) is a prevalent and impactful health concern associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This research delves into the intricate relationship between HTN and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), acknowledging the multifaceted nature of these conditions and their potential impact on individuals' quality of life. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study, conducted in Nablus, Palestine, employed convenient sampling to recruit hypertensive patients from the Ministry of Health clinics between September and December 2023. The inclusion criterion involved confirmed hypertensive patients, while the exclusion criterion included individuals with specific health conditions. The collected data included demographic, comorbidity, and lifestyle factor data. The study utilized the urogenital distress inventory 6 (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ)-7 short forms to assess urinary distress symptoms and the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life. All the statistical analyses, including Pearson, Chi-square, Fisher's exact, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests, were performed with various tests for significance, and the significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results Among the 351 participants meeting the inclusion criteria, females (62.1%) and married individuals (83.5%) were the predominant participants. The majority were aged 58-67 (42.5%), had a high school education (39.0%), and had a body mass index (BMI) of 30-34.9 (30.2%). Significant correlations were found between UDI-6 scores and sex, age, marital status, education level, employment status, and comorbidities. The IIQ-7 score was significantly correlated with female sex, marital status, age, comorbidities, duration of HTN, employment status, and education level. Both the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 scores revealed considerable impacts on urinary symptoms and quality of life. A significant negative correlation (r = -0.579) between the IIQ-7 score and UDI-6 score emphasized the interconnectedness of urinary distress symptoms and their impact on quality of life (P < 0.001). These findings underscore the multifaceted nature of LUTS and their profound effects on hypertensive patients' well-being. Conclusion Our study revealed a significant association between HTN and LUTS, especially among females and specific demographic groups. This emphasizes the need for comprehensive management. The observed negative impact on quality of life emphasizes the significance of adopting holistic approaches to address both conditions.

Shimizu S. Insights into the associative role of hypertension and angiotensin II receptor in lower urinary tract dysfunction. Hypertens Res 2024; 47:987-997. [PMID: 38351189 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-024-01597-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
In men, the lower urinary tract comprises the urinary bladder, urethra, and prostate, and its primary functions include urine storage and voiding. Hypertension is a condition that causes multi-organ damage and an age-dependent condition. Hypertension and the renin-angiotensin system activation are associated with the development of lower urinary tract dysfunction. Hypertensive animal models show bladder dysfunction, urethral dysfunction, and prostatic hyperplasia. In the renin-angiotensin system, angiotensin II and the angiotensin II type 1 receptor, which are expressed in the lower urinary tract, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lower urinary tract dysfunction. Moreover, among the several antihypertensives, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors have proven effective in human and animal models of lower urinary tract dysfunction. This review aimed to elucidate the hitherto known mechanisms underlying the development of lower urinary tract dysfunction in relation to hypertension and the angiotensin II/angiotensin II type 1 receptor axis and the effect of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors on lower urinary tract dysfunction. Possible mechanisms through which hypertension or activation of Ang II/AT1 receptor axis causes LUTD such as bladder dysfunction, urethral dysfunction, and prostatic hyperplasia. LUT: lower urinary tract, LUTD: lower urinary tract dysfunction, AT1: angiotensin II type 1, ACE: angiotensin-converting enzyme.

Abstract
PURPOSE Identifying and managing risk factors for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is crucial because it impacts the quality of life of elderly individuals. Lifestyle factors, including physical activity (PA), and their relationship with LUTS have not been well studied. This objective of this study was to investigate the association between PA and LUTS. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 7,296 men were included in this cross-sectional study. PA was quantified in metabolic equivalent (MET)-hours per week, and LUTS severity was assessed using the international prostate symptom score. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between PA and LUTS, including voiding and storage symptoms. RESULTS The average age of the participants was 57.8 years, and the prevalence of LUTS was 41.3%. After adjusting for potential confounders, PA was inversely associated with the prevalence and severity of moderate-to-severe LUTS, showing a dose-response pattern (all p for trend <0.01). Compared to the minimal activity group, which engaged in <5 MET-hours per week of PA, the odds ratios for moderate to severe LUTS were 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.72-0.97) for men engaging in 15-30 MET-hours per week, 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71-0.95) for 30-60 MET-hours per week, and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.62-0.84) for ≥60 MET-hours per week. The possible protective effect of PA was still observed in the additional analysis for voiding and storage symptoms showing the same dose-response pattern (all p for trend <0.01). CONCLUSIONS A higher PA level was associated with a lower prevalence and severity of total, voiding, and storage LUTS in a dose-dependent manner in Korean men.

Abstract
Objective To describe whether or not there are gender differences in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) prevalence and risk factors in community-dwelling older Chinese Americans. Methods We performed a secondary analysis of a prospective cross-sectional population-based survey of Chinese Americans aged 60 years and older between January 2011 and December 2013 in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Taishanese, or Teochew. A clinical review of systems was used to assess LUTS, which included urinary frequency, urgency, burning and/or pain, blood in urine, and urinary incontinence. Results Of the total 3157 people queried, 42% were men and 58% were women. More men reported LUTS compared to women (32.9% vs. 28.6%, p=0.01). In a multivariable analysis, female gender (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49-0.73), being married (aOR 0.79, 95% CI 0.65-0.97), and smoking (aOR 0.66, 95% CI 0.49-0.88) were found to be protective, while traditional Chinese medicine use (aOR 1.51, 95% CI 1.28-1.78), heart disease (aOR 1.54, 95% CI 1.24-1.91), and anxiety (aOR 1.69, 95% CI 1.25-2.28) were most strongly associated with increased odds of LUTS. When examining genders separately, being married was found to be protective only in women. Meanwhile, unique factors found in men were hypertension, heart disease, and practice of Tai Chi. Conclusion In this large population-based study, LUTS were more prevalent in older Chinese American men than women. We also found gender-specific factors that influenced the odds of reporting LUTS; however, traditional Chinese medicine use was the only factor that was shared by both genders. Future longitudinal investigations are needed to elucidate these underlying mechanisms to provide evidence-based and culture-specific guidelines for this rapidly growing population.

Abstract
Background To investigate the effect of systemic hypertension on the prostatic artery resistive indices by a comparative ultrasonographic evaluation of the prostate gland in normotensive and hypertensive patients with benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). Materials and methods The participants had BPE and presented at the outpatient urologic clinic of a tertiary hospital. They were divided into normotensive and hypertensive groups. Each group had fifty patients. Calculation of international prostate symptom score, measurement of blood pressure, and transrectal ultrasonographic evaluation were done. Results The mean age for the normotensive and hypertensive groups were 66.9 ± 9.8 and 66.0 ± 10.7 years, respectively (P = 0.662). Patients with hypertensive BPE had a significantly higher mean transitional zone volume, transitional zone index, presumed circle area ratio, quality of life score, and prostatic arterial resistive indices than the age-matched normotensive BPE patients. Conclusion Patients with BPE and with hypertension had significantly higher prostate arteries resistive indices than normotensives with BPE. Even in patients with BPE and controlled hypertension, the prostatic artery resistance indices were still elevated than that of normotensive men with BPE.

Abstract
Aging and major chronic diseases are risk factors for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). On the other hand, oxidative stress (OS) is one of the fundamental mechanisms of aging and the development of chronic diseases. Therefore, OS might be a candidate mechanism linking these two clinical entities. This article aims to summarize the studies on the prevalence of LUTS, the role of OS in aging and chronic diseases, and the potential mechanisms supporting the putative link. A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify recent reports investigating LUTS and OS in major chronic diseases. In addition, studies on the impact of OS on the lower urinary tract, including bladder, urethra, and prostate, were collected and summarized. Many studies showed LUTS are prevalent in aging and major chronic diseases, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. At the same time, OS is a key component in the pathogenesis of those chronic diseases and conditions. Recent studies also provided evidence that exacerbated OS can cause functional and/or structural changes in the bladder, urethra, and prostate, leading to LUTS. The reviewed data support the concept that OS is involved in multiple risk factors-associated LUTS, although further studies are needed to confirm the causative relationship. The specific ROS/RNS and corresponding reactions/pathways involved in chronic diseases and associated LUTS should be identified in the future and could serve as therapeutic targets.

Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2022; 25:27-38. [PMID: 34007019 PMCID: PMC8129694 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-021-00388-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the potential mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 in targeting the prostate gland, leading to exacerbation of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms and greater risks of BPH complications such as acute urinary retention. METHODS A categorized and comprehensive search in the literature has been conducted by 10 April 2021 using international databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library in line with the PRISMA guidelines recommendations. PICO strategy was used to formulate the research question. The following terms were used: urology, COVID-19, coronavirus, BPH, inflammation, androgen receptors, LUTS, IPSS, PSA, and SARS-CoV-2 or a combination of them. Studies with irrelevant purposes and duplicates were excluded. The selected studies were performed on humans and published in English. RESULTS The research revealed 89 articles. After title screening and considering exclusion criteria, 52 papers were included for the systematic review. BPH is a common condition affecting older men. SARS-CoV-2 infects the host cell by binding to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). A hyperactivated RAS system during infection with SARS-CoV-2 may lead to activation of pro-inflammatory pathways and increased cytokine release. Thus, this virus can lead to exacerbation of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and trigger inflammatory processes in the prostate gland. Since androgen receptors (AR) play an important role in the BPH pathophysiology and infection with SARS-CoV-2 may be androgen-mediated, BPH progression and its related symptoms can be a complication of COVID-19 through AR involvement and metabolic disturbances. CONCLUSIONS Based on the current findings, SARS-CoV-2 can possibly damage the prostate and worsen BPH and its related LUTS through ACE2 signaling, AR-related mechanisms, inflammation, and metabolic derangement. We encourage future studies to investigate the possible role of COVID-19 in the progression of BPH-related LUTS and examine the prostatic status in susceptible patients with relevant available questionnaires (e.g., IPSS) and serum biomarkers (e.g., PSA).

Abstract
The incidence of chronic aging-associated diseases, especially cardiovascular and prostatic diseases, is increasing with the aging of society. Evidence indicates that cardiovascular diseases usually coexist with prostatic diseases or increase its risk, while the pathological mechanisms of these diseases are unknown. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of both cardiovascular and prostatic diseases. The levels of oxidative stress biomarkers are higher in patients with cardiovascular diseases, and these also contribute to the development of prostatic diseases, suggesting cardiovascular diseases may increase the risk of prostatic diseases via oxidative stress. This review summarizes the role of oxidative stress in cardiovascular and prostatic diseases and also focuses on the main shared pathways underlying these diseases, in order to provide potential prevention and treatment targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations of nocturia with hypertension and anti-hypertensive agents (AHTs) remain to be validated. METHODS This cross-sectional study examined whether blood pressure and/or frequently used classes of AHTs had consistent associations with nocturia. METHODS A total of 418 male patients aged ≥ 40 years were retrospectively assessed in terms of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), prescription medications, and blood pressure. Nocturia was evaluated using item 7 of the IPSS, and two or more episodes of nocturia per night was considered to indicate clinically important nocturia. RESULTS Patients taking calcium channel blockers (CCBs), but not other AHTs, experienced more episodes of nocturia than patients not taking AHTs (1.77 ± 1.07, 1.90 ± 1.19, and 1.48 ± 0.98 in CCBs alone, CCBs + other AHTs, and other AHTs alone, vs. 1.35 ± 1.08 in not taking AHTs; p = 0.014, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.91, respectively), whereas there was no significant difference in the number of nocturia episodes between patients with elevated and normal blood pressure. In multivariate analysis, CCB (odds ratio (OR) = 2.68, p < 0.0001) and age (OR = 1.06, p < 0.0001) were independently associated with clinically important nocturia. CONCLUSION CCB was associated with nocturia, while AHTs other than CCBs and elevated blood pressure were not.

Abstract
High salt intake has been reported as a risk factor for urinary storage symptoms. However, the association between high salt intake and detrusor muscle contraction is not clear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of high salt intake on the components of detrusor muscle contraction in rats. Six-week-old male Dahl salt-resistant (DR; n = 5) and Dahl salt-sensitive (DS; n = 5) rats were fed a high salt (8% NaCl) diet for one week. The contractile responses of the detrusor muscle to the cumulative administration of carbachol and electrical field stimulation (EFS) with and without suramin and atropine were evaluated via isometric tension study. The concentration-response curves of carbachol were shifted more to the left in the DS group than those in the DR group. Contractile responses to EFS were more enhanced in the DS group than those in the DR group (p < 0.05). Cholinergic component-induced responses were more enhanced in the DS group than those in the DR group (p < 0.05). High salt intake might cause urinary storage symptoms via abnormalities in detrusor muscle contraction and the enhancement of cholinergic signals. Excessive salt intake should be avoided to preserve bladder function.

[PMID: 33435190 PMCID: PMC7826533 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18020518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 01/06/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Sodium intake could have an indirect effect on storage symptoms as it is an established fact that it has a correlation to hypertension (HTN). However, clinical support for the correlation of sodium intake to STORAGE symptom remains scarce. Therefore, the present work sought to determine how sodium intake and OAB symptom seriousness were correlated in female individuals based on a cross-sectional research design. Data from 115,578 respondents chosen from 228,921 individuals enrolled in the Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS) were subjected to cross-sectional analysis. The correlation amongst sodium intake and STORAGE symptom was assessed on the basis of estimates of the incidence rate ratio (IRR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Furthermore, joint correspondence analysis (JCA) was conducted to investigate how a predilection for salty taste was associated with several factors, including STORAGE symptom, socio-economic factors, comorbidities, and dietary habits. By comparison to respondents indicating a neutral predilection for salty taste, those who indicated a predilection for bland and salty taste were 7.1% (IRR = 1.071, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.045–1.097) and 20.5% (IRR = 1.205, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.177–1.234) more probable to experience severe STORAGE symptom, within an adjusted model with multiple variables. JCA confirmed the existence of a correlation between predilection for salty taste and STORAGE symptom. A close correlation was established to exist between predilection for salty taste and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), such as voiding and storage symptoms and nocturia. Moreover, sodium intake was found to be a risk factor for LUTS seriousness in both excessive and deficient amount.

Eur J Hosp Pharm 2020; 29:192-197. [PMID: 32895230 DOI: 10.1136/ejhpharm-2020-002375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 08/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/03/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgery is the primary strategy for treating phaeochromocytoma (PCC), but it can lead to severe hypertension and heart failure. Although valsartan is effective in reducing high blood pressure, clinical data on the potential role of valsartan in PCC are currently limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pretreatment with terazosin and valsartan on patients with PCC. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection of PCC were enrolled. During preoperative preparation, the patients (n=25) in the control group were treated with terazosin, while those (n=25) in the combination treatment group were treated with terazosin and valsartan. The levels of catecholamine hormones before and after surgery were determined, and the intraoperative blood pressure and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The results showed no significant differences in baseline patient characteristics or surgical conditions between the two groups (p>0.05). However, on the third day after surgery, the levels of catecholamine hormones in the two groups were significantly lower than those before surgery (p<0.05), while the levels in the combination treatment group were notably lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). The patients in the combination treatment group showed lower intraoperative blood pressure fluctuations and incidence of perioperative complications compared with the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Terazosin combined with valsartan can effectively improve perioperative haemodynamic instability and reduce postoperative complications in the preoperative management of PCC.

Drinking Frequency but not Years may be Associated with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: Result from a Large Cross-Sectional Survey in Chinese Men. Risk Manag Healthc Policy 2020; 13:633-642. [PMID: 32607031 PMCID: PMC7320899 DOI: 10.2147/rmhp.s238012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2019] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of the drinking frequency and years on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in a large Chinese male population. Methods The current data were obtained from a consecutive series of 3,229 men aged 18–79 who participated in a routine physical examination in Fangchenggang First People’s Hospital, Guangxi, China. During a face-to-face interview, the detailed demographic variables about alcohol consumption, potential confounding factors were collected. LUTS were assessed by International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and defined as total LUTS, irritative (IRR) and obstructive (OBS) symptoms, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk of total LUTS, IRR and OBS symptoms affected by alcohol consumption. Results The prevalence of moderate to severe LUTS was 8.3% and apparently increased with age (P<0.001). A significant distribution presented in age, alcohol consumption, BMI, cigarette smoking, education attainment and hypertension among different strata of LUTS severity (P<0.05). Men who drank 1–2 times per week were less likely to have OBS symptoms (OR=0.45, 95%CI=0.29–0.70) regardless of age (OR=0.52, 95%CI=0.33–0.82) or multivariate adjusted (OR=0.52, 95%CI=0.33–0.83). Nevertheless, we did not observe a significant negative or positive association presented between drinking years and the risk of total LUTS, OBS and IRR symptoms. Conclusion The current results imply that moderate drinking frequency may be protective against LUTS, and drinking years did not relate to worsening or improving LUTS.

Abstract
Background Sodium intake is known to be related with hypertension (HTN), which could impact lower urinary tracts symptoms (LUTS) indirectly. To date, only limited clinical evidences exist upon the association between sodium preference and LUTS. This cross-sectional study analyzed the association between sodium preference and the severity of LUTS in men. Methods A cross-sectional analysis has been performed and a total of 86,637 participants among total registered population of 229,226 in Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS) were included for final analysis. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) or coefficient with 95% confidence interval (CI) estimates were described to show the association between sodium preference and LUTS using negative binomial regression (for the IPSS total, IPSS voiding, and IPSS storage symptoms), ordinal logistic regression (for the IPSS grade), and binomial logistic regression (for the IPSS nocturia symptoms). Results Preference of salty taste group (high sodium preference) were significantly associated with higher IPSS total score (Coef =0.31; 95% CI: 0.27, 0.35), increased risk of severe IPSS grade (OR =1.46; 95% CI: 1.35, 1.57), higher IPSS voiding score (Coef =0.38; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.44), higher IPSS storage score (Coef =0.25; 95% CI: 0.22, 0.29), and increased risk of having IPSS nocturia symptoms (OR =1.21; 95% CI: 1.16, 1.27) compared to subjects with neutral group (normal sodium preference). Prediction of IPSS score according to salty taste preference showed u shaped distribution. Conclusions Sodium preference for taste were significantly associated with LUTS including voiding symptom, storage symptom and nocturia. Both higher and lower intake of sodium could be unfavorable factor for severity of LUTS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate long-term IPSS score and urinary quality of life after radiotherapy for prostate cancer, in patients with prior history of surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS In this retrospective study, we reviewed medical records of patients treated in our department, between 2007 and 2013 with surgery for BPH followed by radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer. Patients were contacted to fill in IPSS questionnaire and they were also asked for urinary quality of life. Predictive factors known to be associated with bad urinary function were also analysed. RESULTS Fifty-nine patients were included in our study. Median age was 70 years. Median follow-up was 4.6 years. Median radiotherapy dose was 78 Gy (5 × 2 Gy/week). Thirty patients (48.5%) received hormone therapy in combination with RT. Main surgery indications were urinary symptoms (65%) and urinary retention (20%). Five-year biochemical-disease free survival was 75% and 5-year clinical relapse free survival was 84%. At the time of the study, the IPSS after radiotherapy was as follows: 0-7: 77.6%; 8-19:20.7%; 20-35: 1.7%. Urinary quality of life was satisfactory for 74.2% of patients. After multivariate analysis, a high dose of RT and a medical history of hypertension were associated with a poorer quality of urinary life (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION External radiotherapy remains an appropriate treatment option without a major risk for deterioration in urinary function in patient with antecedent surgery for BPH. High dose of RT and a medical history of hypertension were associated with a poorer quality of urinary life.

Abstract
Objectives Several studies have shown the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms and autonomic imbalance. We investigated the relationship between detrusor overactivity (DO) or urgency, and transient increase in blood pressure as a type of hypertension related to sympathetic hyperactivity. Study 1: we enrolled 14 male patients with DO and 10 without DO. We measured the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and blood pressure during cystometry. Study 2: we enrolled 14 men patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and 8 without OAB. We measured OABSS and blood pressure using a 24-h ambulatory device. Results Study 1: the mean systolic pressure was significantly higher at urgency or SDV than at the other measurement points in the DO group (161.3 ± 23.2 vs. 134.5 ± 16.3, 137.8 ± 15.3, or 139.5 ± 14.8 mmHg). Study 2: the mean systolic pressure was significantly higher at the measurement points before micturition than at the points unrelated to micturition in the OAB group (159.7 ± 24.9 vs. 124.9 ± 13.8 mmHg). In conclusion, DO or urgency induces a transient increase of blood pressure, suggesting that OAB induces a type of hypertension before micturition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess fesoterodine treatment in elderly women with overactive bladder with and without hypertension. METHODS Data for 2527 elderly women with overactive bladder symptoms, including urgency urinary incontinence, were pooled from 10 double-blind, placebo-controlled fesoterodine studies. RESULTS A total of 1523 elderly women (60.3%) had a history of hypertension, and 1004 women (39.7%) had no hypertension history. Overactive bladder symptoms, mean bodyweight and mean body mass index at baseline were significantly higher in women with overactive bladder and hypertension versus those without hypertension (P < 0.05). Statistically significant improvements in overactive bladder symptoms at week 12 were observed for fesoterodine treatment versus placebo in women with hypertension and those without (P < 0.05). The diary-dry rate (no urgency urinary incontinence episodes), the proportion with less than eight micturitions/24 h, overactive bladder symptom bother and health-related quality of life were also statistically significantly improved by fesoterodine treatment in both populations. Incidence of treatment-related adverse events with fesoterodine was similar in women with hypertension (39.3%) and without hypertension (44.6%). Dry mouth and constipation were the most common treatment-related adverse events with fesoterodine in women with hypertension (26.2% and 5.2%, respectively) and without hypertension (30.5% and 8.0%). CONCLUSIONS A relationship among the severity of overactive bladder symptoms, hypertension and obesity in elderly women is suggested. Fesoterodine provides significantly greater improvements in overactive bladder symptoms and health-related quality of life versus placebo in women with or without hypertension. Hypertension does not appear to affect the efficacy and safety of fesoterodine in elderly women with overactive bladder symptoms, including urgency urinary incontinence.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether high salt intake affects bladder function via epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) by using Dahl salt-resistant (DR) and salt-sensitive (DS) rats. Bladder weight of DR + high-salt diet (HS, 8% NaCl) and DS + HS groups were significantly higher than those of DR + normal-salt diet (NS, 0.3% NaCl) and DS + NS groups after one week treatment. We thereafter used only DR + HS and DS + HS group. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly higher in DS + HS group than in DR + HS group after the treatment period. Cystometrogram showed the intercontraction intervals (ICI) were significantly shorter in DS + HS group than in DR + HS group during infusion of saline. Subsequent infusion of amiloride significantly prolonged ICI in DS + HS group, while no intra-group difference in ICI was observed in DR + HS group. No intra- or inter-group differences in maximum intravesical pressure were observed. Protein expression levels of ENaCα in the bladder were significantly higher in DS + HS group than in DR + HS group. ENaCα protein was localized at bladder epithelium in both groups. In conclusion, high salt intake is considered to cause urinary storage dysfunction via upregulation of ENaC in the bladder epithelium with salt-sensitive hypertension, suggesting that ENaC might be a candidate for therapeutic target for urinary storage dysfunction.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship of nocturnal polyuria in patients with common lifestyle related diseases and overactive bladder, with special attention to hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS After baseline assessment, patients recorded 24-hour urinary frequency/volume, blood pressure and heart rate for 3 days. They were stratified into 4 groups based on mean blood pressure, including no hypertension, and controllable, untreated and uncontrolled hypertension, respectively. RESULTS The 2,353 eligible patients, who had urinary urgency once or more per week and 1 or more nocturnal toilet visits, were enrolled from 543 sites in Japan. Of these patients complete data, including the 24-hour frequency volume chart, were collected from 1,271. Multivariable analyses showed a statistically significant association of nocturnal polyuria with increasing age (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.05, p <0.001) and gender (women vs men OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.59-0.96, p = 0.02), and for controllable (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.83-1.460), untreated (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.55-4.45) and uncontrolled (OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.81-1.62) hypertension vs no hypertension (p = 0.005). However, when assessed separately in men and women, hypertension and heart rate were significantly associated with nocturnal polyuria in women alone (p = 0.01 and 0.03, respectively). Lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia were significantly associated with nocturnal polyuria in men alone (p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS The current study demonstrates that nocturnal polyuria was significantly associated with age, male gender, and untreated hypertension in patients with lifestyle related diseases and overactive bladder. The association between hypertension and nocturnal polyuria was significant in women alone.

Abstract
AIMS Spontaneous hypertensive rats provide a genetic model for exploring the pathogenesis of urine storage dysfunction related to hypertension (HT). In humans, however, HT develops by both genetic and environmental factors including lifestyle factors such as a high-calorie diet, excessive salt intake and stress. We investigated the influence of salt-loading on bladder function and the underlying mechanisms of storage dysfunction related to HT. MAIN METHODS Six-week-old male Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) and Dahl salt-resistant (DR) rats were fed with a normal or high-salt diet for 12weeks. Micturition parameters were obtained from a metabolic cage. Whole bladders were excised from 18-week-old rats and distended in an organ bath. The releases of adenosine triphosphoric acid (ATP) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) from the distended bladder epithelia were measured. Changes in bladder blood flow (BBF) were determined with a laser-speckle-blood-flow imaging system. KEY FINDINGS An increase in mean blood pressure (BP) was noted only in DS rats after salt-loading. During the inactive (sleeping) period, voided volume per micturition gradually increased in DR rats fed a normal or high-salt diet and normal-diet DS rats, while it did not change in the DS rats fed a high-salt diet. Bladder distension significantly increased ATP and PGE2 release from the urothelium in DS rats fed a high-salt diet. BBF was significantly decreased in high-salt-diet DS rats. SIGNIFICANCE One mechanism behind the relationship between salt-sensitive HT and urine storage dysfunction may be an increase in ATP and PGE2 release from the urothelium via suppression of BBF.

Beneficial influence of carvedilol on urologic indices in patients with hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia: results of a randomized, crossover study. Urology 2013; 82:660-5. [PMID: 23987161 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2013.03.087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2012] [Revised: 03/22/2013] [Accepted: 03/30/2013] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of carvedilol, an α- and β-blocker, on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and urine flow in hypertensive patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS Fifty men were included in this double blind crossover study with placebo. After initial screening, participants were randomized to the carvedilol or the enalapril group, with cross over after 3 months. Doses of both drugs were uptitrated or additional therapy was introduced to ensure normal control of blood pressure (BP). Urologic assessment included uroflowmetry (average [Qavg] and maximum urinary flow rate [Qmax]), postvoid residual urine volume (PVR), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). RESULTS After carvedilol or enalapril administration, BP values were significantly reduced, whereas heart rate decreased only in the carvedilol group. Basal urologic values for carvedilol and enalapril were similar: Qavg, 7.8 ± 0.9 and 8.1 ± 0.6 mL/s; Qmax, 13.2 ± 1.5 and 13.7 ± 0.9 mL/s; PVR, 86.1 ± 13.2 and 85.6 ± 11.7 mL; and IPSS, 13.2 ± 0.9 and 12.3 ± 0.8 points, respectively. After treatment with carvedilol, PVR and IPSS significantly decreased (48.2 ± 11.7 mL, 9.0 ± 0.8 points, respectively; P <.001), whereas Qavg and Qmax increased (10.3 ± 0.9 mL/s, 16.5 ± 1.4 mL/s, respectively; P <.001). In the enalapril group, all of these values remained unchanged. CONCLUSION Carvedilol, compared with enalapril, has a positive influence on LUTS related to BPH in patients with hypertension. Thus, therapy with carvedilol may be considered in hypertensive patients with BPH. Further studies on the urologic benefit from long-term use of the drug are warranted.

Abstract
Despite differences in design, many large epidemiological studies using well-powered multivariate analyses consistently provide overwhelming evidence of a link between erectile dysfunction (ED) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Preclinical evidence suggests that several common pathophysiological mechanisms are involved in the development of both ED and LUTS. We recommend that patients seeking consultation for one condition should always be screened for the other condition. We propose that co-diagnosis would ensure that patient management accounts for all possible co-morbid and associated conditions. Medical, socio-demographic and lifestyle risk factors can help to inform diagnoses and should be taken into consideration during the initial consultation. Awareness of risk factors may alert physicians to patients at risk of ED or LUTS and so allow them to manage patients accordingly; early diagnosis of ED in patients with LUTS, for example, could help reduce the risk of subsequent cardiovascular disease. Prescribing physicians should be aware of the sexual adverse effects of many treatments currently recommended for LUTS; sexual function should be evaluated prior to commencement of treatment, and monitored throughout treatment to ensure that the choice of drug is appropriate.

Abstract
AIMS The existence of Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) receptors in the bladder wall and the pronounced contractile effect of Ang-II on the human detrusor muscle have been well established. Studies have presented the role of Ang-II as a mediator in smooth muscle growth and collagen production in the bladder with outlet obstruction. We investigated the associations between male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and hypertension (HT), and examined whether the medications used for HT treatment, particularly Ang-II receptor blockers (ARBs) influence LUTS. METHODS Among 4,298 men with LUTS who were nominated to participate in a Japanese study using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) to gain information on the effects and the safety of silodosin, a total of 3,790 men for whom a baseline IPSS was available were sub-analyzed. We analyzed the influence of HT treatment on IPSSs. RESULTS HT was the most common comorbidity (1,122 men, 29.6%), and 769 men (20.3%) were receiving some kinds of medication for the treatment. We found that the IPSS was lower in patients being treated for HT with ARB than in hypertensive patients who were not receiving any medication (16.8 ± 6.8 vs. 18.3 ± 6.6, P < 0.01). The baseline I-PSS in patients treated for HT with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I), calcium channel blocker (CCB), and normotensive patients were 18.3, 19.6, and 18.1, respectively. CONCLUSION The IPSS is lower in patients with HT treated with ARB. Other drugs for HT, including ACE-I and CCB, did not improve the IPSS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nocturia, a common and bothersome symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), may cause sleep disturbances. Patients with nocturia may have difficulty returning to their normal sleep after repeated episodes of waking and voiding. Therefore, nocturia may have an impact on the circadian rhythm of blood pressure (BP). The association between nocturia and the circadian rhythm of BP was investigated in this study. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 100 male patients who had been diagnosed with BPH and 53 healthy male subjects were included in the study. Nocturnal urinary frequency was assessed by means of a questionnaire and recorded in both groups. Ambulatory BP monitoring was performed in all patients over a 24-h period. RESULTS Patient characteristics and laboratory parameters were similar in both groups. Seventy-five patients (75%) in the BPH group and 20 subjects (37.7%) in the control group were non-dippers, i.e. they did not have a normal nocturnal fall in BP, and this difference was statistically significant (p=0.001). Eighty-nine patients in the BPH group and 13 in the control group had nocturia. Seventy-one patients (79.8%) with nocturia were non-dippers and the difference compared to the patients without nocturia in the BPH group was significant (p=0.003), whereas four patients with nocturia (30.8%) were non-dippers in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that non-dipping was more prevalent in elderly men with BPH and nocturia. BPH and nocturia may be etiological factors in the pathogenesis of non-dipping, which is an indicator of early cardiovascular disease. Further studies must focus on this relationship and, especially, on whether treatment of nocturia and BPH helps to treat non-dipping or not.

Abstract
A flaxseed lignan extract containing 33% secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) was evaluated for its ability to alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in 87 subjects with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with repeated measurements was conducted over a 4-month period using treatment dosages of 0 (placebo), 300, or 600 mg/day SDG. After 4 months of treatment, 78 of the 87 subjects completed the study. For the 0, 300, and 600 mg/day SDG groups, respectively, the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) decreased -3.67 +/- 1.56, -7.33 +/- 1.18, and -6.88 +/- 1.43 (mean +/- SE, P = .100, < .001, and < .001 compared to baseline), the Quality of Life score (QOL score) improved by -0.71 +/- 0.23, -1.48 +/- 0.24, and -1.75 +/- 0.25 (mean +/- SE, P = .163 and .012 compared to placebo and P = .103, < .001, and < .001 compared to baseline), and the number of subjects whose LUTS grade changed from "moderate/severe" to "mild" increased by three, six, and 10 (P = .188, .032, and .012 compared to baseline). Maximum urinary flows insignificantly increased 0.43 +/- 1.57, 1.86 +/- 1.08, and 2.7 +/- 1.93 mL/second (mean +/- SE, no statistical significance reached), and postvoiding urine volume decreased insignificantly by -29.4 +/- 20.46, -19.2 +/- 16.91, and -55.62 +/- 36.45 mL (mean +/- SE, no statistical significance reached). Plasma concentrations of secoisolariciresinol (SECO), enterodiol (ED), and enterolactone (EL) were significantly raised after the supplementation. The observed decreases in IPSS and QOL score were correlated with the concentrations of plasma total lignans, SECO, ED, and EL. In conclusion, dietary flaxseed lignan extract appreciably improves LUTS in BPH subjects, and the therapeutic efficacy appeared comparable to that of commonly used intervention agents of alpha1A-adrenoceptor blockers and 5alpha-reductase inhibitors.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined the efficacy and safety of a relatively high dose of terazosin (5mg) in Korean patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), with or without concomitant hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July to December 2006, 200 men who consecutively presented with LUTS were prospectively studied. Eight weeks after treatment, blood pressure (BP), uroflowmetry, and International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) were assessed. For analysis purposes, patients were stratified according to concomitant hypertension. Of the 200 patients, 173 completed the scheduled eight-week treatment period. RESULTS At baseline, no differences were evident in the two groups in terms of I-PSS, Qmax, PVR and BP. After eight weeks of treatment-although I-PSS and uroflowmetry parameters were not significantly different in the two groups-systolic and diastolic BP in the non-hypertensive control group were higher than in the hypertensive group (p= 0.001 and p=0.0100, respectively). Changes in I-PSS, uroflowmetry parameters, and BPs measured at week eight post- treatment commencement did not significantly differ between the two groups. Moreover, the addition of 5mg of terazosin to antihypertensives did not cause a significant reduction in either systolic or diastolic BP in either group. CONCLUSION Adding terazosin to existing antihypertensive regimens did not seem to increase the incidence of adverse events. Our findings suggest that 5mg terazosin is effective and that it has an acceptable safety profile as an add-on therapy for patients with LUTS and concomitant hypertension.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the mechanisms by which Eviprostat, a phytotherapeutic drug for benign prostatic hyperplasia, influences bladder activity in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 42 female rats were divided into a control group and an Eviprostat group. Rats in the control group were fed a standard diet, while animals in the Eviprostat group were fed a diet containing 0.1% Eviprostat. After 2 weeks 14 rats (7 rats per group) underwent continuous cystometry with physiological saline or 0.1% acetic acid solution and bladder activity was recorded. Body weight, blood pressure, plasma monoamines and adenosine triphosphate were measured in another 14 rats (7 per group). In the remaining 14 rats (7 per group) 0.1% acetic acid solution was infused into the bladder and urinary adenosine triphosphate was measured before and after stimulation. RESULTS During cystometry with acetic acid the interval between bladder contractions was shorter and maximum bladder contraction pressure was higher in the control group compared with results obtained using physiological saline but such differences were not seen in the Eviprostat group. Plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline were lower in the Eviprostat group than the control group but no difference in blood pressure was observed. Urinary adenosine triphosphate was higher in the 2 groups than before stimulation but the increase was smaller in the Eviprostat group than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that Eviprostat acts to maintain low catecholamine and also inhibit pathological bladder activity by decreasing adenosine triphosphate release from the bladder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between risk factors for vascular disease and the American Urological Association Symptom Score (AUA-SS), by comparing the presence of these risk factors with the degree of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical history, AUA-SS, and prostate volume of men who had a radical prostatectomy. The degree of LUTS in men with and without risk factors for cardiovascular disease was compared. RESULTS The mean AUA-SS was 7.2 for the entire cohort, 5.6 in men with no risk factors, and 7.9 in men with at least one risk factor (P < 0.05). In men with one to four risk factors, the mean AUA-SS was 6.9, 7.9, 10.7, and 19.5, respectively. There was no correlation between the AUA-SS and prostate size in the entire cohort or among any groups. CONCLUSIONS Men with risk factors for vascular disease are more likely to have a higher AUA-SS than men without these risk factors. These findings suggest the possibility of an association between vascular disease and the development and severity of LUTS in men.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare costs and treatment patterns between men with concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and CVD to men with CVD (but not BPH). STUDY DESIGN A retrospective, matched cohort study was utilized to assess costs and treatment between two study populations. METHODS The data source was administrative claims from managed care organizations between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2004. A control group of men with CVD only was created matching by age, index CVD diagnosis date, and CVD diagnoses. Diagnosis and procedure codes identified men with BPH and CVD. Differences in medical costs, co-morbidities, and drug treatments were assessed. RESULTS Approximately 39% of men identified with BPH also had some form of CVD at the time of BPH diagnosis. Men with BPH and CVD were more likely to have additional co-morbidities, more frequently received medications for CVD and non-CVD disorders, had 44% higher total medical costs than men with CVD only (p < 0.001), and had 42% higher CVD-related costs (p < 0.001) than men with CVD only. LIMITATIONS The population studied in this analysis was primarily working individuals with health benefits provided by managed care plans; therefore, the results may not generalize to other populations. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates in a commercial payer population that men with concomitant BPH and CVD have more co-morbidities, receive pharmacologic agents more frequently, and have higher health care resource utilization than men with CVD only. Due to the high prevalence of co-morbid BPH and CVD, screening for BPH in men presenting with CVD may assist with earlier disease identification and cost management over time.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the effect of the blended herbal medicine Gosha-jinki-gan on bladder activity and the autonomic nervous system in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 42 female rats were divided into a control diet group of 21 and a Gosha-jinki-gan diet group of 21. Rats in the control diet group were fed a standard diet, while animals in the Gosha-jinki-gan were fed a special diet containing 1.08% Gosha-jinki-gan (TJ107, Tsumura Co., Tokyo, Japan). After 4 weeks 28 rats, including 14 in the control and 14 in the Gosha-jinki-gan group, underwent continuous cystometry with physiological saline or 0.1% acetic acid solution and bladder activity was recorded. The remaining 14 rats were anesthetized with halothane, and body weight, serum amino acid (glutamate and glycine) and plasma monoamine (noradrenaline, adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin) levels were measured. RESULTS The amplitude of bladder contraction on continuous cystometry with physiological saline was lower in the Gosha-jinki-gan diet group than in the control diet group, and plasma dopamine and serotonin levels were also lower in the Gosha-jinki-gan group. When cystometry was done with 0.1% acetic acid, the interval between bladder contractions was shortened in the control and Gosha-jinki-gan groups. However, the interval and duration of bladder contractions were longer in the Gosha-jinki-gan than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that Gosha-jinki-gan inhibits bladder activity by maintaining the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems at a low level.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nocturia is attributed to nocturnal polyuria and/or decreased functional bladder capacity. In this study we elucidated the mechanisms behind circadian fluid regulation and the occurrence of nocturia in healthy elderly males, specifically to determine the role of urine output and regulating hormones, blood pressure, and average voided volumes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 18 males 55 to 73 years old (mean age 61.1) were included in the study. Voiding habits were assessed by completion of a 7-day frequency volume chart recording all fluid intake and voiding. The subjects subsequently underwent inpatient circadian studies measuring the diurnal rhythm of blood pressure, vasopressin, atrial natriuretic peptide, angiotensin II, aldosterone and urine volume. RESULTS Of the nightly home recordings 25% showed nocturia, characterized by a higher 24-hour and nighttime urine volume. During the inpatient studies 12 of the 18 participants experienced a nocturnal void. Nocturia nights were characterized by significantly decreased day-to-night ratios in urine output and a higher nighttime mean arterial blood pressure. A circadian variation in plasma arginine vasopressin was seen only in the group without nocturia. The other hormones revealed a circadian rhythm similar in the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS In healthy males with occasional nocturia, the occurrence of nocturia seems to be associated with a blunting of the circadian rhythm of diuresis and increased arterial blood pressures during the night. These findings may implicate a role for a baroregulatory related mechanism in nocturia.

Abstract
The micturition reflex is one of the autonomic reflexes, but the release of urine is regulated by voluntary neural mechanisms that involve centers in the brain and spinal cord. The micturition reflex is a bladder-to-bladder contraction reflex for which the reflex center is located in the rostral pontine tegmentum (pontine micturition center: PMC). There are two afferent pathways from the bladder to the brain. One is the dorsal system and the other is the spinothalamic tract. Afferents to the PMC ascend in the spinotegmental tract, which run through the lateral funiculus of the spinal cord. The efferent pathway from the PMC also runs through the lateral funiculus of the spinal cord to inhibit the thoracolumbar sympathetic nucleus and the sacral pudendal nerve nucleus, while promoting the activity of the sacral parasymapathetic nucleus. Inhibition of the sympathetic nucleus and pudendal nerve nucleus induces relaxation of the bladder neck and the external urethral sphincter, respectively. There are two centers that inhibit micturition in the pons, which are the pontine urine storage center and the rostral pontine reticular formation. In the lumbosacral cord, excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory glycinergic/GABAergic neurons influence both the afferent and efferent limbs of the micturition reflex. The activity of these neurons is affected by the pontine activity. There are various excitatory and inhibitory areas co-existing in the brain, but the brain has an overall inhibitory effect on micturition, and thus maintains continence. For micturition to occur, the cerebrum must abate its inhibitory influence on the PMC.
