Urine metabolic phenotyping in children with nocturnal enuresis and comorbid neurobehavioral disorders

Abstract Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is a common problem among 10% school-aged children. The etiologies underlying childhood NE is complex and not fully understood nowadays. Nevertheless, increasing evidence suggests a potential link between neurobehavioral disorders and enuresis in children. In this st...
