Introduction:
The EPIC study has highlighted the prominence of nocturia as a crucial symptom of overactive bladder (OAB), intertwining OAB and nocturia with bladder, kidney, and brain functions.
Methods:
Expert opinion, review.
Results:
To truly comprehend lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), we must delve into the interactions among these three systems, alongside their circadian rhythms.
Conclusion:
The perception of LUTS is a result of the intricate interplay between bladder, brain, and kidney function, which may evolve across a lifetime due to the (dys)functionality of these organs.
