Is routine urinary tract investigation necessary for children with monosymptomatic primary nocturnal enuresis?

Functional bladder capacity and urine osmolality in children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis

“…DBC accounted for /50% of age-adjusted bladder capacity in both younger and older children. Similar results were obtained by Cayan et al [19], who showed that functional bladder capacity in PMNE children increased with age and approximated that in healthy subjects. The practical significance of DBC assessment in children with PMNE has not been convincingly proven.…”

Enuresis: How to Evaluate and Treat

“…Cayan et al 26 reported that ultrasound of the urinary tract and uroflometry are probably unnecessar y in the evaluation of the enuretic child since findings in these tests were similar to those in children without enuresis. They stressed the importance of a detailed voiding and elimination history since enuretic children in their study experienced significantly lower numbers of defecations per week and higher numbers of voidings per day.…”

Can urinary nerve growth factor and bladder wall thickness correlation in children have a potential role to predict the outcome of non-monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis?

“…Children with more than three documented UTIs in the previous 3 months were excluded. The maximum voided volume (MVV) was defined as the largest voided urine volume in 3 days according to a bladder diary, including the first morning urine volume [2,13]. MNE and NMNE diagnosis was made using the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS) definition [2].…”
