Urinating In Bed While Sleeping. Started After Removing Kidney In Surgery. Have Mild Dementia. Advice?

My husband had a kidney removed last month due to cancer. Since the surgery, he has been peeing while sleeping without waking (soaking through 2 adult diapers, sometimes 2 or 3 times a night). He does fine during the day, but every night since surgery, he pees in his sleep without waking. He is 78 yrs. old and has mild dementia, but did not have this problem before the surgery. Hope you can help with an answer. He is on two new meds since surgery but the side effects do not mention urinary problems.

Thank you,

S. McAdams

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Is be on any sedatives by any chance ?
Deep sleep due to these drugs might be causing it.
Does he have increased frequency of urine or burning during day time suggesting urinary infection.
Whar are the renal functions now?
Also take care that he doesn't drink excess water or liquids during evening and night time.
