title: The dilemma of nocturia.
abstract: Patients with nocturia are often referred to urologists, but the underlying cause most often lies outside the urinary tract. Nocturia should be considered a systemic disorder and investigated and treated as such. Comprehensive assessment of the symptoms, optimally including a frequency volume chart, can help to determine the potential underlying cause and help to direct the patient to the most suitable medical professional for further management.
