Abstract
Background The antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or arginine vasopressin (AVP) regulates the body's water balance. Recently, modifications in AVP levels have been related to osteoporosis during ageing and microgravity/bed rest. Therefore the present study was devised to assess whether the absence of AVP, as in patients with central diabetes insipidus (CDI), modulates renal calcium excretion. Methods We retrospectively analysed data from 12 patients with CDI with measured 24-h urinary excretion levels of calcium. Data were available at the moment of the diagnosis when patients were drug-free and after therapy with dDAVP, an analog of AVP. Hypercalciuria was defined as 24-h urinary Ca2+ >275 mg/day in males and >250 mg/day in females and a urinary calcium (Ca):creatinine (Cr) ratio >0.20 mg/mg. Results Untreated CDI patients had a daily urinary Ca2+ excretion of 383 ± 47 mg/day and a urinary Ca:Cr ratio of 0.26 ± 0.38 mg/mg. The urine osmolarity significantly increased after the administration of dDAVP by 210% and the urinary flow decreased by 72%. Furthermore, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) increased by 7%, which did not reach statistical significance. dDAVP treatment did not significantly modify the urinary Ca2+ concentration; however, the daily calcium excretion and the urinary Ca:Cr ratio were significantly decreased (160 ± 27 mg/day and 0.11 ± 0.02 mg/mg, respectively). Conclusions Patients with CDI show hypercalciuria even though urine is more diluted than normal controls, and dDAVP reverses this effect. These data support the intriguing relationship between AVP and osteoporosis in ageing and microgravity/bed rest.

Abstract
Nocturnal polyuria (NP) is characterised by increased urine production overnight in comparison to daytime. It has significant adverse events in adults including reduced quality of life, increased risk of falls and increased mortality.Although NP can be a manifestation of other significant conditions like heart failure and sleep apnoea, there are lots of unanswered questions about NP. What is the underlying pathophysiology? Is NP a physiological manifestation of ageing? Is the circadian change of vasopressin release the primary pathology? Or is it a secondary phenomenon to a low diurnal production of urine? Is the primary pathology at the kidney level or is there another humoral, cardiac, or endovascular element? In this article, we summarise the available English-language literature on the subject of NP, including its epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment.Level of evidence: Not applicable for this multicentre audit.

Abstract
Introduction: The prevalence of idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) in healthy pediatric population ranges from 3.0% to 7.0%. There is insufficient data about IH in children with mono-symptomatic enuresis. The aim of this study was to examine calcium excretion in urine (UCa) in patients with primary mono-symptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE). Methods: In patients with PMNE, aged 5 to 17 years, IH was determined in 24-h urine and from second morning spot urine. The completeness of the 24-h urine collections was estimated via measuring 24h-urine creatinine excretion (UCr) of 0.1-0.2 mmol/kg/24h. Results: Sixty patients with PMNE, 32 males and 28 girls, median age of 9 years were enrolled in the study. Only 41.7% patients successfully completed 24 h urine collection. IH, defined as 24-h UCa > 0.1 mmol/kg body weight, was diagnosed in 12% of the patients, while when defined as UCa/UCr > 0.8 mmol/mmol in children 5-7 years and > 0.6 mmol/mmol in those > 7 years, IH was 8.3% and 6.7% from 24hurine and spot urine, respectively. Conclusion: Children and adolescents with PMNE are in risk of hypercalciuria. Therefore, it is useful to examine 24 hours of urine calcium excretion in these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to measure the 24 h urinary calcium content in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) and compare with those in healthy children to investigate whether there is any relation with enuresis and hypercalciuria. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 120 children and adolescents with MNE aged between 7 and 14 years. Eighty age- and sex-matched healthy children served as a control group. To determine urinary calcium excretion, 24 h urine samples were collected. The children with enuresis were divided into two sub-groups as hypercalciuric and normocalciuric groups according to the amount of urinary calcium excretion. RESULTS Hypercalciuria was found in 27 (23%) of the MNE patients compared with two (4%) of continent children (p<0.001). In addition, the mean 24 h urine calcium/body weight ratio was higher in the enuresis group than in the control group, 2.94±2.42 versus 1.59±1.72, respectively (p=0.002). When the children with enuresis were divided into two groups as normokalsiuric and hypercalciuric, the hypercalciuric children were younger and the majority of this group were boys.. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that hypercalciuria is common in children with MNE, so we suggested measuring urine calcium levels in NE patients. However, further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between hypercalciuria and NE in larger series..

Abstract
Nocturnal enuresis is a common problem among children. Hypercalciuria has been proposed as an important etiology of bedwetting. We investigated the incidence of hypercalciuria among children with nocturnal enuresis and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. In this case–control study 118 children with nocturnal enuresis and 100 age-, sex-, and educational district-matched healthy controls were recruited. Urine samples were obtained from each subject twice: immediately after awakening and 2 hours later at school. Urinary calcium and creatinine levels were measured and the subjects with a urinary calcium/creatinine ratio more than 0.2 were considered as hypercalciuric. Serum Ca, P, Na, K, and PTH levels were measured for all hypercalciuric subjects. The mean urine calcium to creatinine ratio in the second urine sample was 0.070±0.06 mg/mg and 0.050±0.046, respectively in the case and control groups (P=0.008). There were 12/118 and 3/100 hypercalciuric subjects in the case and control groups respectively (P=0.032). The serum Ca, P, Na, K, and PTH levels were in normal range in all hypercalciuric subjects. In our study there was a significant difference in the frequency of hypercalciuria among children with nocturnal enuresis and healthy controls, so we can suggest adding the measurement of urine electrolytes especially the calcium level in patients with nocturnal enuresis.

Abstract
Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) is the leading metabolic risk factor for urolithiasis and affects all age groups without gender or race predominance. IH has a high morbidity with or without lithiasis and reduced bone mineral density (BMD), as described previously in pediatric patients as well as in adults. The pathogenesis of IH is complex and not completely understood, given that urinary excretion of calcium is the end result of an interplay between three organs (gut, bone and kidney), which is further orchestrated by hormones, such as 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and fosfatonins (i.e., fibroblast growth-factor-23). Usually, a primary defect in one organ induces compensatory mechanisms in the remaining two organs, such as increased absorption of calcium in the gut secondary to a primary renal loss. Thus, IH is a systemic abnormality of calcium homeostasis with changes in cellular transport of this ion in intestines, kidneys and bones. Reduced BMD has been demonstrated in pediatric patients diagnosed with IH. However, the precise mechanisms of bone loss or failure of adequate bone mass gain are still unknown. The largest accumulation of bone mass occurs during childhood and adolescence, peaking at the end of the second decade of life. This accumulation should occur without interference to achieve the peak of optimal bone mass. Any interference may be a risk factor for the reduction of bone mass with increased risk of fractures in adulthood. This review will address the pathogenesis of IH and its consequence in bone mass.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nocturnal polyuria is considered a major pathogenetic factor in nocturnal enuresis, and the antidiuretic drug desmopressin, given at bed-time, is consequently recognized as a first-line treatment alternative. The aim of this open, non-randomized study was to see whether diuretic medication, given in the afternoon, could give similar therapeutic benefit. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-three children suffering from primary, monosymptomatic, nocturnal enuresis were included in the study by their primary care paediatrician. After 14 days without any treatment and 14 days for which 0.4 mg of desmopressin was given orally at bed-time, the children were given furosemide 1 mg/kg in the afternoon for 14 consecutive days. The numbers of wet and dry nights were recorded. RESULTS The numbers of wet nights at baseline, during desmopressin treatment and during furosemide treatment were 10.2+/-3.5, 6.4+/-4.6 and 8.2+/-4.5, respectively. Both drugs were significantly better than no treatment, but only a small proportion of patients became completely dry: 24% on desmopressin and 12% on furosemide. Desmopressin was significantly better than furosemide. Three children who showed no therapeutic effect on desmopressin treatment had a favourable response to furosemide. CONCLUSION Furosemide, given in the afternoon, has minor therapeutic potential in nocturnal enuresis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary nocturnal enuresis is a heterogeneous disorder, causing a mismatch between overnight diuresis volume and functional bladder capacity. Despite increasing insights in pathogenesis, lack of efficacy of the available treatments is a major problem. We evaluated characteristics of bladder volume and diuresis rate in patients with nocturnal enuresis referred to a tertiary enuresis center. MATERIALS AND METHODS Noninvasive screening including maximal voided volume, 24-hour circadian rhythm of diuresis and osmotic excretion from 1,000 consecutive patients. RESULTS Of the patients referred as having monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis 32% were subsequently classified as having nonmonosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. Differences in bladder volume and nocturnal diuresis characteristics between the monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and nonmonosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis groups were minimal. CONCLUSIONS The most common observation is a nocturnal diuresis volume greater than maximal voided volume, which in both groups can be caused by nocturnal polyuria or small bladder volume for patient age. The most striking observation is that the positive correlation between nocturnal diuresis volume rate and nocturnal osmotic excretion and 24-hour fluid intake is significantly higher than with the inversed urinary osmolality overnight, which is not only unexpected based on the theory of the primary suppression of vasopressin levels overnight, but also points to a more important role for nutritional and fluid intake than accepted, if not in the primary pathogenesis, then at least in therapy resistance.

Abstract
PURPOSE In a subgroup of children with enuresis an increase in nighttime water and solute excretion has been documented. To investigate if modifications in renal function are involved in nocturnal enuresis, we assessed circadian variation in natriuresis and tubular sodium handling in polyuric hypercalciuric children. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 children with proved hypercalciuria and nocturnal polyuria and 10 age matched controls were included in the study. A 24-hour urine collection was performed in 8 sampling periods for measurement of urinary sodium excretion. Segmental tubular sodium transport was investigated during a daytime oral water load test and calculated according to standardized clearance methodology. RESULTS The children with enuresis showed a marked increase in the fractional excretion of sodium during the night (0.93% +/- 0.36%), while daytime sodium excretion was decreased (0.84% +/- 0.23%). Analysis of segmental tubular sodium transport revealed decreased delivery of sodium to distal tubule (C(H2O) + C(Na) = 10.7 ml/100 ml glomerular filtration rate), indicating increased proximal tubular sodium reabsorption but also stimulation of distal sodium reabsorption as demonstrated by increased fractional distal sodium reabsorption (92.9% +/- 2.2%, controls 90.5% +/- 2.9%). Increased distal reabsorption was associated with increased fractional potassium excretion (17.5% +/- 2.7%, controls 13.6% +/- 6.4%), indicating increased distal tubular sodium/potassium exchange. CONCLUSIONS No intrinsic defect in renal tubular sodium transport was found, but during the day increased sodium reabsorption in proximal and distal tubules was observed, suggesting extrarenal factors to be involved in altered circadian variation in solute and water excretion by the kidney.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the role of urinary Ca excretion in monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis, and defined normality and intra-individual variability in Ca excretion in healthy children. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 46 Danish children with desmopressin resistant nocturnal enuresis and 96 healthy controls. We performed fractional urine collections at home during 2 days in controls or during hospitalization in children with enuresis. Urine volume, osmolality, and Ca and creatinine measurements were performed and Ca-to-creatinine ratios were calculated and compared between groups. Based on nocturnal urine output children with enuresis were characterized as having polyuria (nocturnal urine volume greater than 130% of expected bladder capacity) or not having polyuria. RESULTS We did not find any differences in controls compared with children with enuresis who did not and did have nocturnal polyuria in daytime Ca excretion (mean +/- SE 0.121 +/- 0.012, 0.078 +/- 0.014 and 0.095 +/- 0.020 mg/mg creatinine), nighttime Ca excretion (0.115 +/- 0.011, 0.092 +/- 0.019 and 0.139 +/- 0.029 mg/mg creatinine) or 24-hour Ca excretion (0.118 +/- 0.011, 0.083 +/- 0.014 and 0.106 +/- 0.020 mg/mg creatinine, respectively). Urinary Ca excretion was not influenced by patient age, sex or body weight and, furthermore, we did not find evidence of diurnal variation. However, we observed considerable intra-individual variability in diurnal, nocturnal and total 24-hour urinary Ca-to-creatinine ratios. CONCLUSIONS These observations contradict several previous reports and speculations on a role of Ca in the pathogenesis of nocturnal enuresis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the last few years, there have been reports that children with nocturnal enuresis frequently have hypercalciuria. Likewise, children with desmopressin-resistant enuresis have recently been reported to have a higher renal concentration capacity than patients with desmopressin-sensitive enuresis. OBJECTIVES To study renal function and urinary calcium excretion and to register familial history of enuresis and urolithiasis in a group of children with enuresis, whether responders or nonresponders to desmopressin, followed-up in our hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cohort of 60 patients (42 boys and 18 girls) who were referred to the hospital because of nocturnal enuresis. RESULTS Hypercalciuria was detected in 26 children (43.3 %) and hypocitraturia in eight (13.3 %). The frequency of hypercalciuria was higher in desmopressin-resistant patients than in desmopressin-sensitive patients, but this difference was not statistically significant. Sonographic renal morphological anomalies were detected in 11 children (18.3 %). No differences in renal handling of water were detected when the patients were distributed according to the grade of sensitivity to desmopressin. CONCLUSIONS In our cohort we found a high frequency of hypercalciuria in children with nocturnal enuresis. No differences were observed in maximal urinary osmolality among desmopressin-resistant and desmopressin-sensitive children.

Abstract
PURPOSE We verify the sodium fraction excretion rate (FE Na) and potassium fraction excretion (FE K) rates in monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. We also correlate FE Na and FE K to urinary osmolality, nocturnal polyuria and vasopressin in the same population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 438 children 6 to 15 years old (mean age 9.7) presenting with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis were recruited from different centers. Inclusion criteria were 3 or greater wet nights a week, no daytime incontinence and no treatment in the previous 2 months. Exclusion criteria were cardiopathy, endocrinopathy, psychiatric problems and urinary tract abnormalities. Micturition chart, diurnal (8 am to 8 pm) and nocturnal (8 pm to 8 am) urine collection, including separate diuresis volumes, (Na, K and Ca) electrolytes and osmolality were evaluated, as well as serum electrolytes, creatinine and nocturnal (4 am) vasopressin. Diurnal and nocturnal FE K and FE Na were calculated. ANOVA test, chi-square test, Student's t test and Pearson correlation test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS : Nocturnal polyuria (diurnal to nocturnal diuresis ratio less than 1) was found in 273 children (62.3%, group 1 and nocturnal urine volumes were normal in 165 with enuresis (37.7%, group 2). Nocturnal FE Na was abnormal in 179 children (40.8%), including 118 in group 1 (43.2%) and 61 in group 2 (36.9%) (chi-square not significant). FE Na was also increased in nocturnal versus daytime diuresis (Student's t test p <0.001). In group 1 nocturnal FE Na correlated with nocturnal diuresis (Pearson correlation p = 0.003, r = +0.175), while daytime FE Na and nocturnal FE Na correlated with diurnal diuresis (Pearson correlation p = 0.001, r = +0.225 and Pearson correlation p = 0.001, r = +0.209, respectively). In group 2 nocturnal FE Na did not correlate with diuresis (Pearson correlation p = 0.103, r = +0.128) but correlated with vasopressin values (Pearson correlation p = 0.042, r = -0.205). Urine osmolality was reduced in 140 children (31.9%) and correlated with nocturnal diuresis (Pearson correlation p = 0.003, r = -0.321). Vasopressin was decreased in 332 children (75.8%, 62.6% in group 1 and 13.2% in group 2). No significant difference was found between sexes and age of enuretic subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Nocturnal FE Na correlates with nocturnal diuresis, whereas daytime FE Na does not. FE K in daytime and nighttime diuresis does not statistically differ in nocturnal polyuric and nonpolyuric enuretic groups. Osmolality correlates with nocturnal diuresis, and vasopressin at 4 am was lower in the nocturnal polyuric group. The hypothesis of a subset of enuretic patients presenting with nocturnal polyuria associated with high nocturnal natriuria and low vasopressin values has been confirmed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The use of desmopressin in the treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) is accepted and based on the fact that this drug leads to renal water reabsorption. However, recent findings have also implicated that desmopressin regulates other molecules, such as sodium and potassium. We investigate if desmopressin influences renal Ca2+ handling. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 children with PNE were enrolled in a prospective study. Patients received a standard 30 microg desmopressin intranasally before going to bed. All patients were treated for at least 4 weeks. Desmopressin was then withdrawn and reintroduced after 2 weeks. Urine samples were collected during all 3 phases of the study. Ca2+ measurement was performed in single morning spot urines as well as in 24-hour collections. Additionally, blood was sampled for analysis of Ca2+. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Wet nights decreased an average of 4.75 to 1.0 per week with desmopressin treatment. While blood concentrations did not change with or without medication, urinary Ca2+ excretion was significantly higher while patients were treated with desmopressin. This significant result was the same in single spot as well as in 24-hour samples. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the increased excretion of Ca2+ by desmopressin treatment in children with PNE. Since Ca2+ is a crucial molecule in growth and development, this finding indicates the necessity of larger followup studies concerning Ca2+ handling and growth in children on long-term desmopressin treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Desmopressin may not be effective for nocturnal enuresis associated with polyuria and hypercalciuria. Nighttime hypercalciuria in an enuretic population from 5 centers and its correlation with nighttime polyuria were verified. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 450 enuretic patients (278 males, 172 females, mean age 9.7 years) were evaluated with 72-hour micturition charts, urinalysis, serum creatinine and osmolarity, diurnal and nocturnal electrolytes with fractional Na+ and K+ urinary excretion, and nocturnal (4 a.m.) plasma vasopressin. Creatinine electrolytes and osmolarity were measured in daytime (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and nighttime (8 p.m. to 8 a.m.) urine volumes. Patients were divided into group 1 with nocturnal polyuria and group 2 without nocturnal polyuria. Hypercalciuria was defined as urinary calcium-to-urinary creatinine ratio greater than 0.21. Statistic evaluation was performed using chi-square, Pearson correlation and ANOVA tests. RESULTS Nighttime polyuria was demonstrated in 292 bedwetters (65% group 1). Nocturnal hypercalciuria was present in 179 of the 450 children (39.7%), including 125 in group 1 (42.8%) and 54 in group 2 (34.2%), which was statistically significant (chi-square p = 0.008, Pearson correlation test r = 0.157). Daytime calciuria was not statistically modified in either group (group 1 p = 0.054, group 2 p = 0.56). Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ADH) was normal in 18.5% and low in 81.5% of enuretics with nocturnal hypercalciuria. ADH levels and nocturnal hypercalciuria significantly correlated (p = 0.003, r = 0.148). Conversely, the group 2 patients had normal ADH levels. CONCLUSIONS Nocturnal hypercalciuria has a pivotal role in nocturnal enuresis, as it is significantly associated with low ADH levels and nocturnal polyuria. A new classification of nocturnal enuresis subtypes based on nighttime calciuria levels is mandatory to address treatment properly.
