Nocturia, which is commonly thought to be the most bothersome of lower urinary tract symptoms, has a consistently high impact on well-being and quality of life. The reported prevalence of nocturia in patients older than 50 years has been as high as 90%; the prevalence and inconvenience associated with nocturia increase with age. There are several causes of nocturia, which can be related to bladder storage problems (eg, infection or detrusor overactivity), nocturnal polyuria (eg, renal insufficiency or autonomic dysfunction), or polyuria (eg, diabetes mellitus or diabetes insipidus). Nocturia can be mimicked by other urinary and neurologic medical conditions that must be ruled out when evaluating the patient’s condition. Treatment of nocturia is generally started with conservative measures (eg, restriction of fluids, leg elevation, or changes in medication/medication schedules). Behavior modification therapy and pharmacotherapy are considered first-line treatment options; surgery is a second-line treatment option. This article will review the definition, causes, diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of noturia using information from randomized controlled trials and unstructured reviews. (Adv Stud Med. 2006;6(1A):S8-S19) N octuria is frequently considered a benign condition that is a normal part of aging; however, it has direct and indirect effects on the general health and quality of life of patients who experience this symptom.
