Overview
Brief Summary
Patients suffering from nocturnal enuresis (starting from the age of 5 till adulthood) are all treated with the same dose of desmopressin, i.e. 120mcg once daily. In treatment resistant enuresis, this dose is doubled: those patients take 240mcg once daily. A pilot study performed at our department showed a correlation between weight and plasma concentration when a fixed dose of desmopressin oral lyophilisate formulation was given to the pediatric patient (older than 6 years). This study will investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of desmopressin in young children, less than 8 years old. Additionally, the efficacy of desmopressin oral lyophilisate formulation in urinary concentration testing will be evaluated

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Children with an uro- and/or nephropathy who need an urinary concentration test OR Children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (based on nocturnal polyuria) with treatment failure on desmopressin tablet
- •Otherwise healthy children (on medical history and physical examination)
- •Parents or legal guardian of the child signed the informed consent form
- •Age: between 6 months and 8 years
- •Minimum weight: 8 kg
Exclusion Criteria
- •Diabetes insipidus
- •Renal failure (eGFR\<60ml/min/1,73m²)

- •Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion
- •Heart failure
- •Clinical significant medical conditions (renal, hepatic, gastro-intestinal, pulmonary, cardiac, endocrinologic) that might interfere with the clinical endpoints
- •Sensitivity to desmopressin or excipients of the oral lyophilisate formulation
- •Use of antibiotics, diuretics or other drugs that can influence diuresis (tricyclic antidepressants, chlorpropamide, oxcarbazepine, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, chlorpromazine and carbamazepine).
- •Use of drugs that influence intestinal motility (such as loperamide)
