Impact of Aging on Urinary Natriuretic Peptides in Nocturia and Nocturnal Polyuria.

Purpose: The pathophysiology of nocturia and nocturnal polyuria (NP), conditions that become more prevalent with aging, may in part be explained by changes in hormones involved in water homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of aging on urinary natriuretic peptides in nocturia and NP.

Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years completed 24-hour bladder diaries for assessment of nocturia and NP.

Phenotyping the Association between Nocturia and Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: The association between nocturia and hypertension has been widely reported yet remains poorly characterized, precluding a more refined understanding of blood pressure as it relates to the clinical urology setting. We synthesized current evidence on the relationship between nocturia and hypertension as a function of nocturia severity, age, gender, race, body mass index and diuretic use.

Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed®, EMBASE® and Cochrane databases for studies published up to May 2020.
