==Overview==
'''Nocturia''' (derived from [[Latin language|Latin]] ''nox, night'', and [[Greek language|Greek]] ''[τα] ούρα, urine''), also called '''nycturia''' (Greek ''νυκτουρία''), is the need to get up during the night in order to urinate, thus interrupting sleep.  Its occurrence is more frequent in the elderly.  Nocturia could result simply from too much liquid intake before going to bed, or it could be a symptom of a larger problem, such as [[chronic renal failure]], [[urinary incontinence]], [[Interstitial Cystitis]], [[diabetes]], [[benign prostatic hyperplasia]], Ureteral Pelvic Junction Obstruction<ref>[http://www.emoryhealthcare.org/departments/urology/sub_menu/upj.html Ureteral Pelvic Junction Obstruction desc.]</ref> or [[prostate cancer]].
