Residual Renal Function Affects Severity of Sleep Apnea in Peritoneal Dialysis: A Pilot Study

ConclusionsThe prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea and sleep disturbances is high in participants receiving peritoneal dialysis. Elevated apnea-hypopnea index is associated with lower residual renal function, whereas dialysis-specific measures such as intra-abdominal dwell volume and peritoneal membrane transporter status do not correlate with severity of obstructive sleep apnea.
