Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) but are often underrecognized. The most common sleep disturbances in people with CKD include insomnia, sleep apnea syndrome, restless legs syndrome, and periodic limb movement disorder. The presence of sleep disorders in CKD can further worsen the burden of high morbidity and mortality in a patient population with already high mortality rates. The detection and management of sleep disorders in patients with CKD are often challenging because the classic symptoms of sleep disorders (poor concentration, daytime sleepiness, and insomnia) overlap with CKD symptomatology.
