Is nocturia of prostatism secondary to renal concentrating defect?
An attempt was made to demonstrate a relationship between the nocturia of prostatism and decreased renal tubular concentrating capacity. Nos such relationship could be substantiated. In the absence of hydronephrosis, nocturia remains best attributed to detrusor instability and a decreased effective vesical capacity.
