Journal Club - 🤔 Nocturia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

This review article examines the complex relationship between nocturia (frequent nighttime urination) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It explores the multifactorial pathophysiology linking OSA to nocturia, focusing on the roles of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, oxidative stress, and endothelial damage. The article critiques existing theories explaining this connection, highlighting the limitations of attributing polyuria solely to cardiac overload. Finally, it discusses various treatment options, including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), oral appliances, and lifestyle modifications, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to optimize patient care and suggests avenues for future research into the underlying mechanisms.
