[Etiology and own experience in the primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children].

Unlabelled: Primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) is the most frequent (85%) type of enuresis in children. It remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to establish its etiology and implement a proper treatment.

Aim: The aim of the study was to establish the causes of PMNE in children on the basis of own investigations and assess factors having influence over PMNE etiology, which would enable the choice of effective therapy.

[Etiology primary, monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children. Own research].

Introduction: Primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis is the most frequent (85%) type of enuresis in children. Establishing its causes enables the choice of effective therapy.

Aim: To establish the causes of primary, monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children on the basis of own investigations.

Identification of novel cystinuria mutations in pediatric patients.

Objective: Cystinuria is a common inherited disorder of renal reabsorption of cystine and the dibasic amino acids. So far, mutations in two genes (SLC3A1 and SLC7A9) have been identified in cystinuria patients. Molecular searches for cystinuria mutations show that their distribution depends on the ethnic origin of the patients, but have not allowed the detection of 100% of variants.

[Urinary trace elements excretion in patients with cystine calculosis].

Unlabelled: Not all cystinuric patients develop urinary calculi. There is the need to identify modulating factors. In recent years the role of trace elements in the mechanism of stone formation has received a steadily increasing attention.

[Usefulness of Uro-Vaxom in complex treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections in girls].

Uro-Vaxom was used in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections in 35 girls. Most of them (34/35) tolerated the drug very well, no side effect were observed. We stopped administration of the Uro-Vaxom in one girl, during the first month of treatment because of vomiting.

[Defects of the low urinary tract as a cause of recurrent urinary tract infection in girls].

462 girls aged 1 month--15 years with recurrent urinary tract infection were diagnosed in the Outpatient Clinic of Mother and Child Institute during 1985-1992 and 1999-2000 years period. The most common cause of recurrent urinary tract infection was an isolated construction of external urethral ostium--59.9% (187/312) then vesico-ureteral reflux coexisting with external urethral ostium--41.
