just thought you would like to know since sometimes we
have children coming to us for this problem.

Some bedwetters have more sodium
AARHUS, Denmark, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- A type of bedwetting
may not respond to common treatment because of higher
levels of sodium and urea in the child's urine, Danish
researchers said.

The finding may help physiologists understand why
about 30 percent of children who suffer from
bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) don't respond
desmopressin, which is commonly used to treat the
condition, the University of Aarhus researchers said.

Nocturnal betwetting affects between 7 percent and 10
percent of 7-year-old children, although cases have
been seen in older and younger children.

In one group of children studied, researchers found
that the urine contained more sodium, urea and
prostaglandin. Because the level of sodium and was
higher, the volume of urine expanded in the bladder,
leading to enuresis, the researchers said.

The increased prostaglandin production could account
for the difference in the levels, the researchers
said.

The researchers started treating the children who
didn't respond to desmopressin with a prostaglandin
inhibitor. Those trials are expected to be completed
within a year.
