Predialysis fluid overload linked with quality of sleep in patients undergoing hemodialysis

Hemodialysis (HD) patients are exposed to dysregulated fluid balance which can lead to overhydration. Poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness are particularly common in these patients, however the relationship between fluid status and sleep quality and daytime sleepiness has not yet been studied. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the correlations between fluid status and sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in HD patients.
