Discovering the Effect of Venous Insufficiency on Nocturia

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Nocturia
Venous Insufficiency of Leg
Fluid Overload
Registration Number
NCT04266496
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Ghent
Brief Summary

With this prospective controlled trial, we hope to obtain more information about the coexistence between venous insufficiency and nocturia.

In our opinion, venous insufficiency (CEAP 2-3a) leads to an increase in fluid accumulation in the lower limbs due to moving around all day. When laying down during nighttime, this fluid is reabsorbed into the systimic fluid pool, leading to an increase in diuresis and thus an increase in nocturnal voiding. Aim of this study is observe difference in nocturnal frequency and urine production before and after surgical treatment of venous insufficiency.
