Which term means bedwetting?

• A. Filtrate
• B. Glycosuria
• C. Hematuria
• D. Enuresis

Answer: (D)

Bedwetting is described medically as enuresis, specifically nocturnal enuresis when it occurs during sleep. Enuresis means involuntary urination after bladder control should be established, which is why it’s the term used for bedwetting. The other terms refer to different urine findings: filtrate is the liquid filtered by the kidneys that becomes urine, not the act of urinating; glycosuria means glucose in the urine (often related to high blood sugar); and hematuria means blood in the urine.
