Sleep disorders are common in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and are not improved by either conventional haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with cardiovascular disease and contributes to high mortality found in patients with ESRD. Cure of SDB after transplantation has been anecdotally reported.
