“…Regarding nocturia and frequent micturition, nocturia without nocturnal polyuria may arise from LUT dysfunction [22], which may involve the same pathology as frequent micturition. Frequent micturition and nocturia are common in older people [23], and may be related to a decrease in functional bladder capacity with age. In the present study, multivariate analysis revealed that the incidence of frequent micturition and nocturia increased with older age at RTX, whereas univariate analysis showed that longer duration of pre-transplant dialysis also played a role in the development of frequent micturition and nocturia.…”

Background:We investigated risk factors for lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction and LUT symptoms in patients who successfully underwent renal transplantation (RTX). Material/Methods:Ninety-five patients (54 males and 41 females) undergoing RTX (median age: 45 years old) at Hokkaido University Hospital were included in this study. Uroflowmetry (UFM), postvoid residual urine volume (PVR), and 24-h bladder diaries were performed. We analyzed risk factors for voiding dysfunction, urinary frequency, polyuria, nocturia, and nocturnal polyuria after RTX using logistic regression analysis. Results:End-stage renal disease arose from diabetes mellitus in 18 patients (19%). Pre-transplant dialysis had been carried out in 74 patients. Voiding dysfunction as assessed by UFM and PVR was observed in 24 patients (27%).Based on the 24-h bladder diaries, we identified frequent micturition in 29 patients (35%), polyuria in 44 (54%), nocturia in 30 (37%), and nocturnal polyuria in 46 (56%). A multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus, which may cause autonomic disorders, was a risk factor for voiding dysfunction and nocturnal polyuria. A risk factor for frequent micturition and nocturia was older age at RTX. Being female was a risk factor for polyuria, which suggested that fluid intake in relation to body weight was higher in females. Conclusions:LUT dysfunction and LUT symptoms were not uncommon in patients who successfully underwent RTX. LUT dysfunction and LUT symptoms need to be considered in patients with risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, older age at RTX, and being female, even after successful RTX.

“…LUT dysfunction and LUT symptoms generally affect QOL, and attempts to diagnose and treat these have typically improved QOL [23]. A previous study reported that LUT dysfunction and LUT symptoms did not significantly affect the QOL of patients who underwent RTX [19], except for nocturia and nocturnal polyuria [9].…”

The linguistically validated Turkish version of OAB-V8 questionnaire that involves the first 8 questions of the original OAB form is being used since 2006 in our country. The reliability analysis of this form was performed by our group recently. Although the currently used Turkish version of OAB-V8 questionnaire is the best available symptom assessment tool to be used in patients with OAB, it does not allow us to question the quality of life and sexual effects of the disease. ABSTRACTWhat's known on the subject? and What does the study add? ÖZET ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to constitute and validate a symptom questionnaire to be used in the diagnosis and follow up of patients with OAB that complies with the specific needs of the Turkish society and that allows the assessment of both disease symptoms and their effects on quality of life. Materials and MethodsA total of 78 OAB patients and 90 control patients were included in this study between January 2007 and June 2007. All included patients underwent urine analysis/culture, blood creatinine levels, 3-day voiding dairy, urinary ultrasonography and plain abdominal graphy evaluations. ResultsAmong 168 patients included 99 (58, 95) were males and 69 (41,1%) were females. Mean age was 47,3 (±17, 2) years. Cronbach alpha value which is a determinant of internal consistency was 0.92 for M-OAB questionnaire. The Spearman correlation co-efficient for total score was found to be 0.98 (p=0.001) in the test-retest analysis. The highest sensitivity (97%) and specificity (94%) values for the M-OAB questionnaire to make a diagnosis of OAB were obtained with a cut off value of 12.5 for the total score. ConclusionThis study shows the development of a reliable and valid OAB specific symptom and quality of assessment tool that is short and easily applicable in the daily clinical practice. This questionnaire can provide the clinicians with practical comfort and a standardized quantification of the patient symptoms. Key WordsOveractive bladder, symptom questionnaire, validation, quality of life AmaçAşırı aktif mesane (AAM) hastalarının tanı ve izlemlerinde kullanılabilecek, hastalığın semptomlarını ve hayat kalitesi üzerine etkilerini aynı anda sorgulayabilen, Türk toplumunun kendi özelliklerine uygun bir sorgulama formunun oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve YöntemOcak 2007-Haziran 2007 tarihleri arasında AAM tanısı ile takip edilen 78 hasta ve şikayeti olmayan 90 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların her birinin idrar tahlili/kültürü, kan kreatinin ölçümü, 3 günlük işeme günlüğü, üriner sistem ultrasonografisi ve direkt üriner sistem grafisi incelemeleri yapılmıştır. BulgularÇalışmaya dahil edilen 168 hastanın 99'u (%58,9) erkek ve 69'u (%41,1) kadındı ve yaş ortalamaları 47,3 (±17,2) olarak bulundu. M-AAM sorgulama formunun iç tutarlılığının bir ölçüsü olan Cronbach alfa değeri 0,92 olarak hesaplandı. Test-Tekrar test tutarlılığı hesaplandığında toplam skor için Spearman korelasyon katsayısı r=0,98 (p=0,001) olarak bulundu. Kesme değeri 12,5 ola...
