Assessment and treatment of nocturia in endocrine disease in a primary care setting; systematic review and nominal group technique consensus (2022)
Journal Article
Dawson, S., Duncan, L., Ahmed, A., Gimson, A., Henderson, E. J., Rees, J., …Andrews, R. (2022). Assessment and treatment of nocturia in endocrine disease in a primary care setting; systematic review and nominal group technique consensus. European Urology Focus, 8(1), 52-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euf.2021.12.008

Context: Salt and water homeostasis is regulated hormonally, so polyuria can result from endocrine disease directly or via secondary effects. These mechanisms are not consistently considered in primary care management of nocturia. Objective: To condu...
