From the reviews:

"This is a comprehensive overview of nocturia, a diagnosis that often frustrates and intimidates urologists. ... The editors have compiled chapters that characterize nocturia, review its clinical workup, and outline its consequences. ... The book is most suitable for urologists who encounter a significant number of patients with nocturia in their daily practice. ... the index provides a quick reference to help answer targeted questions. ... Overall, this is a great resource for practitioners struggling with this challenging diagnosis on a regular basis." (Alana M. Murphy, Doody's Review Service, April, 2012)

"This is the first textbook dedicated to a ... significant subject frequently encountered in urological practise. ... Alternative therapies such as lifestyle changes and plant extracts were briefly described and the authors concluded the textbook with some proposals for potential future investigations in patients suffering from nocturia. This new and original textbook represents an excellent overview and can be very useful to urologists and geriatricians. Many tables and figures complement the comprehensive scope of the text." (Paul Meria, European Urology Today, June/July, 2012)

This will be a valuable (and very readable) reference work for urologists, urogynaecologists, internists, nephrologists, pulmonologists, endocrinologists and sleep medicine specialists, also for allied professions working with patients suffering from nocturia."
