Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can have multi-system involvement, including cardiac, renal, pulmonary, neuropsychiatric, and endocrine complications. Several complications have shown a bidirectional relationship with OSA, and multiple mechanisms of bidirectional relationship have been studied in the literature, like fluid retention and redistribution in heart failure and renal and neural mechanisms in stroke and diabetes. The current review aims to explore comorbidities associated with OSA, look for bidirectional relationships, and the impact of therapy.
