Vitamin D Serum Levels in Monosymptomatic Enuretic and Non Enuretic Children

A Comparative Study of Vitamin D Serum Levels in Monosymptomatic Enuretic Children and Non-enuretic Children

We are group of researchers interested in causes and management of nocturnal enuresis, we embarked on this research on 2020 and we reached promising results regarding the role of vitamin D serum level in etiology and management of monosymptomatic enuresis.

this research was conducted as a comparative study regarding serum vitamin D levels in monosymptomatic enuretic and non enuretic children, also we compared urine osmolality and nocturnal polyuria in both groups and we found that low vitamin D levels are correlated with low nocturnal urine osmolality and increased incidence of nocturnal polyuria
