Sleep disorders in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing dialysis therapy

Abstract: The questionnaire showed a high presence of sleep disruption in dialytic populations. Awareness by Italian nephrologists regarding sleep disruption seems to be insufficient. Our data might help nephrologists to deal with uraemic patients with possible sleep disorders. Concerning the high prevalence of possible narcolepsy, further studies using polysomnographic records are necessary to confirm our results.

“…É provável que a etiologia dos TS nesses pacientes tenha origem multifatorial. 18 Aspectos ligados à atividade laboral e social (restritas nesses indivíduos submetidos à hemodiá-lise), fatores genéticos, psicológicos e hábitos de vida podem interferir no sono. 19,20 Entretanto, outros fatores pouco avaliados nos estudos podem estar também relacionados aos TS nesses pacientes, como a anemia, os níveis de ureia e toxinas urêmicas no sangue, doenças cardiovasculares, hipertensão arterial, diabetes melito, idade avançada, tempo em hemodiálise, abuso de álcool e tabaco, depressão, e outros.…”

“…Sleep disturbances and altered day/night rhythm have been frequently documented in dialysis patients (81). Adverse cardiac events show significant diurnal variations (82), and mortality is higher for people whose professions expose them to frequent disruption of the biorhythm (e.g., flight crews, shift workers) (83).…”

“…The most frequently reported complaints are insomnia, restless leg syndrome (RLS), sleep-disordered breathing and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). 1 The prevalence of sleep apnea (SA) in ESRD and dialysis patients has been reported in (13-70%), 1 which is much higher than the general population (2-4%). 2 This large variation in the prevalence of SA in dialysis patients is probably due to different populations being studied, the method of diagnosis [whether it is based on questionnaires or polysomnography (PSG)] and the definition used to diagnose SA.…”
