Abstract

Sleep disorders are common, multi-factorial and often underrecognized in patients with renal diseases. Sleep disorders have a negative impact on the wellbeing and quality of life. Medical literature in the past few years has documented many definitive associations between kidney diseases and various sleep disorders. Prompt referral to a sleep medicine specialist for further evaluation is warranted in this group of patients at the earliest suspicion of an insidious sleep disorder. In this review, we will discuss the common sleep disorders seen in patients with kidney disorders–the restless leg syndrome/Willis–Ekbom disease (RLS/WED), sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), insomnia disorder, hypersomnolence disorder, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders (CRSWDs) and parasomnias.
