Nycturia - current modalities of therapy

MUDr.Pavel Drlík
Urologické oddělení ÚVN, Praha

Ethiology of nocturia, as simple clinical unit, when patient is aroused one or multiple times from sleep, is multifactorial. If we can begin

the correct treatment, we divide nocturia in polyuria, nocturnal polyuria, failure of storage function of urinary bladder and failure

of sleep. Modification of daily drink-programme and treatment of basic disease is very important by all sorts of nocturia. Cooperation

with internists, endocrinologists, neurologists and psychiatrists is necesarry. We use momently more desmopressin for treatment of

nocturnal polyuria and anticholinergic and spasmolytic druha for therapy of overactive bladder.

Keywords: polyuria, nocturnal polyuria, overactive bladder, desmopresin
