Abstract
AIMS The link between nocturia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is frequently discussed in literature, yet the precise nature of this relationship remains poorly characterized. The existing literature was reviewed in order to address issues concerning the origin, diagnosis, management, and implications of the co-occurrence of CVD and nocturia. METHODS This review summarizes literature and recommendations regarding the link between CVD and nocturia discussed during a think-tank meeting held at the 2023 International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society. RESULTS Cardiovascular disorders are often underestimated contributors to nocturia, with various potential mechanisms influencing nighttime urination, such as impact on fluid retention, atrial natriuretic peptide, and glomerular filtration rate. The redistribution of fluid from leg edema in supine position can lead nocturnal polyuria (NP). Additionally, sleep disturbances due to nocturia in itself may lead to CVD through an increase in blood pressure, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Disrupted circadian rhythms (e.g., in sleep pattern and urine production) were identified as critical factors in most etiologies of nocturia, and their contribution is deemed imperative in future research and treatment approaches, particularly in the aging population. NP can be detected through a simple bladder diary and can even be used to distinguish cardiac from noncardiac causes of nocturia. For the treatment of NP, desmopressin can be effective in select patients, however, caution and close monitoring is warranted for those with CVD due to increased risk of side effects. CONCLUSIONS Gaps were identified in the available evidence and clear cut recommendations were put forth for future research. It is essential to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms linking nocturia and CVD to develop optimal management strategies.

Su YT, Chen HL, Teoh JYC, Chan VWS, Wu WJ, Lee HY. Comparison of add-on medications for persistent storage symptoms after α-blocker treatment in BPH patients - a network meta-analysis. BMC Urol 2023; 23:154. [PMID: 37789333 PMCID: PMC10546657 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-023-01327-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) receive α-blockers as first-line therapy to treat lower urinary tract symptoms; however, some individuals still experience residual storage symptoms. Antimuscarinics, β3-agonists, and desmopressin are effective add-on medications. Nevertheless, there is currently no evidence for the appropriate choice of the first add-on medication. This systematic review aimed to investigate the clinical benefits of antimuscarinics, β3-agonists, and desmopressin, in addition to α-blockers, for persistent storage symptoms in BPH patients. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of different add-on medications in BPH patients with persistent storage symptoms despite α-blocker treatment was conducted. Clinical outcomes included the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), IPSS storage subscore, nocturia, micturition, and urgency. A network meta-analysis was performed to estimate the effect size. Surface under cumulative ranking curves (SUCRAs) were used to rank the included treatments for each outcome. RESULTS A total of 15 RCTs were identified. Add-on imidafenacin and mirabegron resulted in significant improvement in all outcomes assessed. Other add-on medications such as desmopressin, tolterodine, solifenacin, fesoterodine, and propiverine showed positive benefits for most, but not all, outcomes. Based on the SUCRA rankings, add-on desmopressin was the best-ranked treatment for IPSS and nocturia, and add-on imidafenacin was the best for the IPSS storage subscore and micturition. CONCLUSIONS BPH patients presenting with persistent storage symptoms despite α-blocker administration are recommended to include additional treatment. Desmopressin and imidafenacin may be considered high-priority add-on treatments because of their superior efficacy compared with other medications.

Wang Q, Alshayyah R, Yang B. The efficacy and safety of desmopressin acetate applied for nocturia in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Low Urin Tract Symptoms 2022; 14:155-162. [PMID: 35034423 DOI: 10.1111/luts.12423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmopressin acetate was recommended for nocturia in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients recently, but its effect and safety is still controversial. We aimed to establish a systematic review and meta-analysis to confirm its effect on symptom relief and adverse effects. METHODS A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Medline, Web of Science and Science Direct databases from January 2000 to October 2021 for controlled trials of BPH patients comparing oral desmopressin with control groups. The mean difference (MD) and odds ratio (OR) were meta-analyzed. RESULTS Four articles with 500 patients were included. Significantly greater benefit was detected for the desmopressin group in the improvement of nocturia (P = .004), international prostate symptom score - storage (IPSS-S) (P = .03), and quality of life (QoL) (P = .04) scores. Patients treated with desmopressin were at higher risk than the control group for short-term adverse events (P < .001), including nausea (4.71%, P = .04), headache (20%, P < .00001), dizziness (5.88%, P = .02) and hyponatremia (4.71%, P = .04), but the long-term incidence might decrease. CONCLUSION Desmopressin acetate can reduce nocturia frequency and improve the IPSS-S and QoL score in BPH patients. Some adverse reactions of desmopressin, such as hyponatremia, headache, dizziness and nausea, may be mild and short-term. No significant difference of desmopressin was found in improving the overall IPSS score and maximum urine flow.

Abstract
(Objective) Nocturia, an important male lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS), is often difficult to treat. Herein, we report our experience of the initial treatment of nocturia with the novel drug desmopressin. (Subjects and methods) Subjects included 25 patients with LUTS treated with desmopressin who had the chief complaint of nocturia. Before treatment, the frequency of nocturnal urination (≥2) and nocturnal polyuria index (≥0.33) were confirmed based on the urination diary for ≥ 72 h. Before sleep, 25 or 50 mg desmopressin (Minirin® Melt OD tablets) was administered once daily. The frequency of nocturnal urination, volume of nocturnal urine, time from falling asleep to first urination, first urinary volume after falling asleep, nocturnal polyuria index, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life index, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score, and residual urine volume were comparatively evaluated before and 4 weeks after treatment. Treatment effect was self-evaluated by patients 4 weeks after the treatment. Safety was evaluated by interview and blood testing 1 and 4 weeks after the treatment. (Results) Decrease in the frequency of nocturnal urination and improvement in IPSS were observed. According to self-evaluation of the treatment, 72.6% of the patients considered the treatment efficacious. Regarding safety, adverse events were observed in 28% of the patients, particularly hyponatremia (12% of the patients). (Conclusion) Desmopressin is a potential key drug for the treatment of nocturia caused by nocturnal polyuria.

Abstract
(Purpose) To conduct a prospective study on the efficacy and safety of desmopressin for nocturnal polyuria. (Materials and methods) We selected 51 Japanese men, aged ≥50 years, with complaints of nocturia and a nocturnal polyuria index of ≥0.33. We administered 25 or 50 μg desmopressin (Minirinmelt Orally Disintegrating Tablet®), once daily at bedtime. We evaluated the nighttime urinary frequency and urine volume, nocturnal polyuria index, time to the first urination after falling asleep, and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after administration. In addition, they underwent clinical examinations and blood tests at 1, 4, and 12 weeks to evaluate the safety of the drug. (Results) We observed a decrease in the nighttime urinary frequency and urine volume, and nocturnal polyuria index, increased prolonged time to the first urination after falling asleep, and improved IPSS at and after 4 weeks, compared to baseline data. Furthermore, the drug remained effective even at 12 weeks for all parameters. We observed adverse events in 31.3% of the patients. The incidence of hyponatraemia was particularly high in 15.7% of the patients. Those with a lower serum sodium level and lesser body weight at baseline were more likely to develop hyponatraemia. (Conclusion) Desmopressin was identified as a potential drug for the treatment of nocturnal polyuria. However, hyponatraemia, an important adverse event, resulted in treatment discontinuation in several patients. A sodium level lower than the normal level and low body weight at baseline were the risk factors for hyponatraemia.
