Session Overview

Nocturia can be defined as waking from sleep to pass urine. There are many causes, some of which are simple (for example drinking too much liquid before going to bed) and some of which are more complex (for example chronic kidney disease).
Nocturia may result from abnormalities of the urinary tract or from systemic diseases.
