Effect of Ultrafiltration on Sleep Apnea and Cardiac Function in End-Stage Renal Disease.

CONCLUSIONS: In ESRD, cardiac function deteriorates overnight in those with sleep apnea, but not in those without sleep apnea. This overnight deterioration in the sleep-apnea group may be at least partially due to sleep apnea, since attenuation of sleep apnea by UF was accompanied by elimination of this deleterious overnight effect.
