Filter by:Understanding the impact of food/nutrients on body fluid metabolism is important for improving diagnosis and treatment of nocturia, polyuria in relation to lifestyle interventions. This study on "Food and Salt Handling in Diuresis" examines the role of certain food and nutrients in diuresis. The study design is to investigate the possible acute effects and mechanisms of selected food (which are known to be diuretic) and nutrients (e.g. salt) in diuresis in healthy individuals. The study will provide insights into the management of nocturia, nocturnal polyuria or oedema which are common clinical sign in a wide range of disorders as cardiovascular, renal and metabolic disorders. During the study the volunteers will be asked to ingest a certain dosage of a food/nutrient in capsules along with a defined amount of water (500 ml). 2 Blood and 3 urine samples will be collected at different time points to measure the urine output and urine composition derived by the ingestion of the particular food item. Renal Function Profiling is used as an easy and cheap tool to understand the mechanism of action behind the observed effect in diuresis. Renal function profiles distinguish the osmotic form water diuresis from a change in filtration. Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) is also used to evaluate oedema and fluid volumes in body tissues. BIA is a non-invasive technique based on Ohm's law whereby the resistance of a tissue against an electric current is inversely proportional to the water content and directly proportional to the length of the tissue. For the BIA measurement, a device is used in which 8 tactile electrodes are placed: 2 in contact with the thumb and middle finger of each hand, and 2 in contact with the inside and outside of each foot. Before the start of the measurements, the length and body weight are measured. The resistance of the arms, torso and legs is measured at different frequencies.
The aim of this pilot was to study how body water behaves between the different internal water pools of the human body, what the role and influence of the interstitium is and what the effect is of body position on the distribution and allocation of BW between different body parts (trunk, legs, arms). To study this, 2 techniques that have not been used before in urological research were tested on their usefulness: - The first technique is a recent BIA device, which distinguishes itself from earlier devices by measuring impedance at different electrical currencies in different body parts (arm/limb/trunk). This technique made it possible to observe the influence of body position on the distribution of BW in these body compartments. Rationale for this research question is mainly the link between NP and edema that was found in earlier research and the fact that body position seemed to have an impact on the size of edema. For this reason, it can be suggested that body position and thus edema will have an impact on whether or not NP occurs. - The second technique uses deuterium as a biological marker. With this technique the distribution, storage, allocation and excretion of BW was examined among the urological most relevant water pools (blood, urine and interstitium).
To investigate the incidence and risk factors of desmopressin-induced hyponatremia during long-term treatment (1 year [52 weeks]) of MINIRINMELT orally disintegrating (OD) tablets 25μg/50μg (drug) for nocturia caused by nocturnal polyuria in men in daily clinical practice, and to confirm the compliance with proper use of this drug in clinical practice and to investigate the effectiveness of risk minimization activities.
To estimate the prevalence of nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria (NP) in the US and describe the demographic and clinical characteristics as well as the burden of illness in participants with nocturia due to NP.
The aim of the study is to identify protein markers in relation to the enuresis related nocturnal polyuria by using mass spectrometry on nocturnal urine samples. A biomarker for nocturnal polyuria would simplify an important part of the clinical characterization of enuresis patients.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited renal disorder. Tolvaptan has been approved in Canada as a treatment for ADPKD. Tolvaptan is an arginine vasopressin receptor antagonist which has been shown to decrease the progression of ADPKD. The main side effect of this treatment is increased urine output which leads to cessation of therapy in about 20% of patients. Low solute (low sodium, low protein) diet may alleviate this side effect. This is a single arm before / after study of dietary intervention on urine output and quality of life in ADPKD patients on a stable dose of tolvaptan.
This study investigates stimulation of the posterior pituitary gland by oral Macimorelin (a ghrelin receptor Agonist) to be a novel diagnostic test in the polyuria-polydipsia syndrome.
Nocturnal polyuria may decrease the treatment efficacy of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB); and adjuvant medication, such as desmopressin, may be needed for the treatment of nocturnal polyuria. The knowledge of prevalence and risk factors of nocturnal polyuria might be important for the treatment of OAB. Thus, our aim is to describe the prevalence and risk factors of nocturnal polyuria in women with OAB.
The purpose of this trial was to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of different oral doses of FE 201836, with desmopressin as a benchmark, during 12 weeks of treatment for nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria in adults
The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate efficacy of SK-1404 against placebo for the treatment of subjects with nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria, during 4 weeks of treatment.
