Hypervolemia and Sleep Apnea in Kidney Disease.
Seminars in Nephrology 2015 July
In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and heart failure, conditions characterized by fluid overload, both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA) are highly prevalent. This observation suggests that fluid overload may be a unifying mechanism in the pathogenesis of both OSA and CSA in these conditions. An overnight rostral fluid shift from the legs to the neck and lungs has been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of OSA and CSA, respectively, in various different patient populations. This article reviews the evidence that supports a role for fluid overload and overnight fluid shift in the pathogenesis of sleep apnea in ESRD. The diagnosis, epidemiology, and clinical features of sleep apnea in patients with ESRD also are considered.
