Nocturia is one of the most frequent and the most bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms. Ethiology of nocturia is multifactorial and not only urologists but also other specialities are concerned. From this reason the standardisation of terminology and guidelines for diagnostic and treatment of nocturia was produced by International Continence Society.

Keywords: nocturia, diagnostic, treatment
