Study Notes
Bed-Wetting Diagnosis
- The most likely diagnosis for the 9-year-old boy who has been wetting the bed for one month and has a history of fever and foul-smelling urine is a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Affected Pelvic Muscle
- The pelvic muscle affected in the 8-year-old boy with bed-wetting issues is the detrusor muscle.
- Targeted therapy for the detrusor muscle could be bladder training and relaxation techniques.
Cause of Bed-Wetting
- The most likely cause of bed-wetting in the 9-year-old boy who used to be dry since 7 years and now presents with nocturnal enuresis is a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Urinalysis Findings
- Additional findings on urinalysis that support the diagnosis of urinary tract infection in the 9-year-old boy include the presence of nitrites, leukocyte esterase, and red or white blood cells in the urine.
