Nocturnal Enuresis*

Nocturnal enuresis has been recognized as an adverse effect of clozapine treatment. We reported 3 chronic schizophrenic patients who had showed nocturnal enuresis following clozapine treatment. Oxybutynin hydrochloride on clozapine-induced enuresis was very effective in 3 patients. The dose in our patients was 5 to 10mg/day. This medication was well tolerated. It is suggested that oxybutynin hydrochloride is a effective therapeutic option in clozapine-induced nocturnal enuresis.

A survey was carried out at Hµ Håi commune, Th­êng TÝn district, Hµ T©y province. 100% of the household were surveyed for essential enuresis in children by using the designed questionnaire. The children were screened and examined to exclude physical disorders. The results showed that the incidence of essential enuresis was high (5.01%) in 5 - 14 years of age group. There was not difference between men and women in the incidence, but the incidence has tended to decrease consistently from 5 to 14 years of age. It is showed that the spontaneous resolution occurred with a certain rate when the children growing.

Through the process of studying pupil's family environment relating to learning results and health state of pupil in Kien Giang province, we concluded that economy and literacy proficiency of the Kien Giang pupil's family are lower than those of Kinh people, the Khmer pupil's abilities lag behind Kinh one's, probably due to a lack of the family concern. More attentions need to be paid to the health education and environmental hygiene for the primary and secondary schools in Kien Giang, especially for the Khmer pupils and their families.

The treatment of choice for primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) in Korea remains imipramine which has proven to be effective in approximately 50 to 80%, but it is an antidepressant with toxic side effects and risk of overdose. Recently desmopressin (DDAVP, 1-desamino-8-Darginine-vasopressin) has been introduced for the treatment and its effect has been promising in many reports. To find the efficacy and safety of intranasal desmopressin, we evaluated the results of therapy in 48 enuretic children (34 boys and 14 girls). Mean age was 9.8 years (range 5-16). All the children were evaluated at least 3 months after the treatment with intranasal desmopressin. The overall response rate was 83.3%. The number of wet night per week before and after intranasal desmopressin treatment was 6.42 and 1.83 nights per week respectively. No side effects were observed. These data shows that the intranasal desmopressin therapy is effective and safe for the treatment of PNE.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study, to investigate whether there is any association between enuresis in childhood and nocturnal polyuria syndrome (NPS) in adult life. METHODS: The study consisted of thirty five patients with nocturnal polyuria, and thirty five healthy people without nocturnal polyuria in adult life, were asked to assess their enuresis in childhood. RESULTS: There was a history of enuresis in childhood in 18 (51.42%) of 35 of men with nocturnal polyuria and in 4 (11.42%) of 35 without nocturnal polyuria. Enuresis in childhood was significantly more common in men with nocturnal polyuria than without nocturnal polyuria. The difference was significant (P<0.0001). The prevalence of enuresis in the nocturnal polyuria (51.42%) was more than two-fold higher than reported prevalence in general populations. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the history of enuresis in childhood seems to increase the risk of having NPS in adult life. This relationship should be taken into account in the evaluation of men with complaints from NPS in adult life and the possible common pathophysiology should be considered in the treatment planning.

PURPOSE: To investigate the correlation between functional bladder capacity, first morning urine osmolality, daytime voiding symptoms, and severity of nocturnal enuresis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assessed a total of 101 children with nocturnal enuresis (mean age, 7.7+/-2.3 years). Patients were divided into three groups according to the severity of enuresis: (1) one to six episodes per week (46 cases, 45.5%), (2) one episode every day (29 cases, 28.7%), and (3) multiple episodes every day (26 cases, 25.8%). Baseline parameters were obtained from frequency volume charts for 2 days, first morning urine osmolality, and a questionnaire for the presence of frequency, urgency, and daytime incontinence. RESULTS: The severity of enuresis increased with younger age (p=0.037) and reduced functional bladder capacity (p=0.007) and daytime symptoms of frequency and daytime incontinence (p=0.012, p=0.036). No statistical difference in urine osmolality or urgency was found among the three groups. Both reduced functional bladder capacity and low urine osmolality increased according to the severity of enuresis (p=0.012). CONCLUSIONS: In children with nocturnal enuresis, severity was increased by younger age, reduced functional bladder capacity, and the presence of daytime voiding symptoms of frequency and daytime incontinence. The incidence of small functional bladder capacity was increased in children with everyday wetting, and the incidences of both small functional bladder capacity and low urine osmolality were increased in children with everyday multiple wetting.
