[Nocturia in Parkinson's disease].

Nocturia is the most common urological symptom in patients with PD and it significantly reduces the quality of life starting from the early stages of the disease. Nocturia increases as PD progresses, it is independent of dopaminergic medications, and it is directly associated with a number of parkinsonian symptoms (postural, frontal cognitive, affective and autonomic), which are partly dopamine-resistant. This indicates the common pathogenesis of nocturia and other symptoms of PD and the significant influence of polytransmitter imbalance.
