Purpose: To determine the pathophysiology of nocturnal polyuria associated with renal dysfunction.
Methods: Patients who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy were studied prospectively. The diurnal variation in urine volume, osmolality, and salt excretion were measured on preoperative day two and postoperative day seven. The factors associated with an increase in the nighttime urine volume rate with decreased renal function were evaluated by multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: Forty-nine patients were included. The eGFR decreased from 73.3 ± 2.0 to 47.2 ± 1.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P < 0.01) and the nighttime urine volume rate increased from 40.6% ± 2.0% to 45.3% ± 1.5% (P = 0.04) with nephrectomy. The nighttime urine osmolality decreased from 273 ± 15 to 212 ± 10 mOsm/kg (P < 0.01) and the nighttime salt excretion rate increased from 38.7% ± 2.1% to 48.8% ± 1.7% (P < 0.01) with nephrectomy. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the increase in the nighttime urine volume rate was strongly affected by the increase in the nighttime salt excretion rate.
Conclusion: A decrease in renal function causes an increase in the nighttime urine volume rate, mainly due to an increase in nighttime salt excretion.
