Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is common in children and can significantly impact the quality of life in affected children and their families. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, diagnostics, and treatment, with a particular focus on nonorganic urinary incontinence and nocturnal enuresis. Accurate diagnostics are essential to differentiate between organic and functional causes, as well as to distinguish primary from secondary forms of urinary incontinence.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and angiotensin II (Ang II) on aquaporin 2 (AQP2) expression in M - 1 cells.
Methods: M - 1 cells were stimulated with desmopressin (dDAVP) and Ang II, followed by treatment with tolvaptan and losartan. The expression and protein levels of V2R, AT1R, AQP2, and p-S256AQP2 were measured via ELISA, western blotting, RT-qPCR, and immunofluorescence.

Purpose: Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) was the gold standard for distinguishing Cushing disease (CD) from ectopic ACTH secretion (EAS). CRH, however, is no longer available.
Objective: To assess the reliability of BIPSS with desmopressin to differentiate CD from EAS.

: Arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D) is a common condition in the setting of brain death. The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency of AVP-D in organ donors, its treatment, as well as the impact of AVP-D on hemodynamics and renal function. : This single-center, retrospective study included 63 organ donors treated between 2017 and 2022.

Purpose: Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) is the gold standard for localizing ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome (CS). While corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) was initially used for stimulation, desmopressin has become a common alternative. This research evaluates desmopressin's effectiveness in lateralizing Cushing's disease (CD) during BIPSS compared to CRH stimulation.
