Abstract
Nocturia is one of the most bothersome symptoms of lower urinary tract and may be the leading symptom in medical examination. Nocturia has a special aspect of being of multifactorial ethiology so interdisciplinary approach for the diagnosis and treatment is obligatory.
Nocturia is at present considered to be a new entity excluded from other symptoms of lower urinary tract and may be a consequence of serious disease. Diagnosis is based on non-invasive methods and the mainstay is the voiding diary.
Treatment is based on desmopresin therapy and drugs influencing lower urinary tract in some cases.
