Although restless legs syndrome (RLS) is common and well recognized as an important and potentially treatable cause of sleep disruption in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), few studies have evaluated the prevalence of RLS and its impact on sleep in the non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence of RLS across the full spectrum of kidney disease and to assess the impact of RLS on sleep quality and daytime function.
