Abstract
Background: The issue of compromised sleep quality among patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), particularly those undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), is notably pronounced. Dialysis patients exhibit significant alterations in cardiac autonomic nerve activity. However, the relationship between autonomic nervous system activity and sleep remains inadequately elucidated.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled adult maintenance PD patients in our center. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. Heart rate variability (HRV) and Skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) parameters were recorded to reflect autonerve activity responses or regulation capacity.
Results: A total of 73 PD patients participated in this study, with a prevalence of poor sleep quality at 38.4%. Serum creatinine (1157.0±294.3 vs 969.6±353.4 mmHg, p = 0.022) and phosphorus levels (2.1±0.5 vs 1.7±0.5 mmHg, p = 0.002) were higher in the poor sleep quality group compared to the good group. Linear regression analyses indicated that PSQI scores were associated with SKNA (β, -2.54; 95% CI, -4.90 to -0.19; P=0.035), standard deviation of all sinus RR intervals (SDNN) (β, -0.05; 95% CI, -0.09 to -0.01; P=0.015), and SD2 (β, -0.04; 95% CI, -0.07 to -0.01; P=0.018).
Conclusion: Poor sleep quality in PD patients may be associated with longer dialysis vintage, higher BMI, higher diastolic blood pressure, and higher level of serum uremic toxin, and affected by cardiac autonomic nerve function disorder.
期刊介绍:
Nature and Science of Sleep is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of sleep science and sleep medicine, including the neurophysiology and functions of sleep, the genetics of sleep, sleep and society, biological rhythms, dreaming, sleep disorders and therapy, and strategies to optimize healthy sleep.
Specific topics covered in the journal include:
The functions of sleep in humans and other animals
Physiological and neurophysiological changes with sleep
The genetics of sleep and sleep differences
The neurotransmitters, receptors and pathways involved in controlling both sleep and wakefulness
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at improving sleep, and improving wakefulness
Sleep changes with development and with age
Sleep and reproduction (e.g., changes across the menstrual cycle, with pregnancy and menopause)
The science and nature of dreams
Sleep disorders
Impact of sleep and sleep disorders on health, daytime function and quality of life
Sleep problems secondary to clinical disorders
Interaction of society with sleep (e.g., consequences of shift work, occupational health, public health)
The microbiome and sleep
Chronotherapy
Impact of circadian rhythms on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms, centrally and peripherally
Impact of circadian rhythm disruptions (including night shift work, jet lag and social jet lag) on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing adverse effects of circadian-related sleep disruption
Assessment of technologies and biomarkers for measuring sleep and/or circadian rhythms
Epigenetic markers of sleep or circadian disruption.
