Emerging Treatments for Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, and Restless Leg Syndrome Among Dialysis Patients
Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent in patients with predialysis chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, and after a kidney transplant. They contribute to impairment in daily function and are associated with a high burden of physical and psychiatric symptoms, decreased quality of life, and increased morbidity and mortality. Sleep disturbances also may precipitate and accelerate kidney disease progression. They often evolve across the spectrum of kidney dysfunction and may persist or re-emerge in kidney transplant recipients.
