Purpose: We evaluate the risk factors for nocturia in patients with chronic kidney disease, and determine whether the metabolic syndrome and its components aggravate nocturia in these patients.
Materials And Methods: We enrolled patients with chronic kidney disease who had regular followup at nephrology clinics, and excluded from study those patients undergoing dialysis, and those with neurogenic bladder or active urinary tract infection. Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire including medical history, clinical parameters and times of nocturnal voids in the last month.
