Abstract

Enuresis, more specifically night-time intermittent urinary incontinence, is defined as urine leakage during sleep in children over 5 years of age. It is a very common problem affecting about 15 % of children aged 5 years, persisting in 2 % of the adult population.

Recommendations for Diagnosis and Treatment of Children with Enuresis - are the result of the joint efforts of the Paediatric Urology Section of the Czech Urological Society and the Child Nephrology Working Group of the Czech Paediatric Society. The aim of the text is to provide information to paediatric urologists and paediatric nephrologists in the Czech Republic involved in the diagnosis and treatment of a child or adolescent usually sent by a general practitioner and not responding to basic measures (general lifestyle advice, desmopressin, alarm) listed in Recommendations Part 1 (1) or nocturnal wetting in which non-monosymptomatic enuresis (NMNE) has been detected.

The recommendations were created on the basis of existing international classifications and recommendations. In cases with a low level of evidence, the working group consensus was adopted.
