Dialysis patients frequently experience sleep disturbances, affecting up to 80%. This review covers common sleep disorders like sleep-disordered breathing and restless legs syndrome, offering insights into their causes and treatments to reduce patient morbidity.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Sleep disturbances and excessive daytime sleepiness are prevalent in patients undergoing dialysis.
  • Surveys indicate that up to 80% of dialysis patients suffer from sleep disturbances.
  • These sleep issues contribute significantly to the morbidity of this patient population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common sleep disorders observed in dialysis patients.
  • To explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these sleep disturbances.
  • To outline effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of sleep disorders in this group.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article.
  • It synthesizes findings from existing surveys and literature on sleep disturbances in dialysis patients.
