nocturnal enuresis/angiotensin

OBJECTIVE We investigated the circadian rhythm of solute excretion and regulating hormones as well as blood pressure in patients with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. METHODS We included 15 patients with a mean age +/- SE of 13.4 +/- 0.9 years who had monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis with at

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the acute effect of indomethacin on renal water and solute handling in children with coexisting monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and desmopressin resistant nocturnal polyuria, and in healthy controls. METHODS A total of 23 subjects were recruited, consisting of 12 children

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the background behind the attenuated circadian rhythm of vasoactive hormones in patients with nocturnal enuresis, we tested the hypothesis that enuretic children exhibit an abnormal neuroendocrine response to a baroreflex stimulus during daytime. METHODS In fifteen children

OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the effect of desmopressin on renal water and solute handling in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and desmopressin resistant nocturnal polyuria compared to healthy controls. METHODS A total of 12 patients with enuresis and nocturnal polyuria, normal

The transition from day to night is associated with a pronounced decline in diuresis with reductions in the amount of excreted water, electrolytes, and other end products of our metabolism. Failure to do so leads to a large urine output at night, a condition known as nocturnal polyuria, encountered

This review explores the current model of sickle cell nephropathy and the limitations of the model. Renal abnormalities are common complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). Beginning in childhood, patients with SCD develop a urinary concentrating defect resulting in polyuria and a predisposition

Nocturnal urinary continence is dependent on 3 factors: 1) nocturnal urine production, 2) nocturnal bladder function and 3) sleep and arousal mechanisms. Any child will suffer from nocturnal enuresis if more urine is produced than can be contained in the bladder or if the detrusor is hyperactive,
