referenceVaziri ND et al. investigated serum melatonin and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin levels in end-stage renal disease patients and the effect of hemodialysis, as published in Artificial Organs in 1993.

claimHemodialysis treatment may alter biological systems that regulate the sleep-wake cycle in patients with end-stage renal disease.

referenceSeveral studies have reported that hemodialysis causes an increase in cytokine production due to blood interactions with bioincompatible components like membranes, tubing, and cellular mechanical trauma, as well as the backflow of endotoxins (Panichi et al., 2000).

claimIdiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome is not associated with an increased mortality rate, but secondary cases of RLS, such as in individuals treated with long-term hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease, are associated with a greater mortality risk.

referenceParker KP published a review on sleep disturbances in dialysis patients in Sleep Medicine Reviews in 2003.

measurementRestless legs syndrome (RLS), periodic limb movement disorder, sleep apnea, and excessive daytime sleepiness affect up to 70 percent of patients with end-stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis.

measurementIn a survey of 894 dialysis patients, severe symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome were associated with an increased hazard ratio of 1.39 (95% CI, 1.08–1.79).

referenceProinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6, possess somnogenic and pyrogenic properties and are linked to postdialytic symptoms such as daytime sleepiness and sleep disturbances (Konsman et al., 2002; Raison and Miller, 2001; Capuron et al., 2002).

claimInterleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 are proinflammatory cytokines involved in hemodialysis-related symptoms, as identified by Pertosa et al. (2000).

referenceHemodialysis-associated changes in melatonin secretion patterns and alterations in body temperature rhythms may disrupt circadian systems (Vaziri et al., 1993, 1996; Parker et al., 2000; Parker, 2003).

referenceInterleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 are identified as the major proinflammatory cytokines involved in the inflammatory response to hemodialysis (Pertosa et al., 2000).

referenceA 2000 study by Pertosa et al. published in Kidney International Supplement discussed the clinical relevance of cytokine production in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

claimHemodialysis treatment is often associated with central nervous system symptoms including headache, restlessness, changes in arousal, and fatigue, which result from rapid fluid, electrolyte, and acid/base changes.

referenceParker KP, Bliwise DL, and Rye DB published a study in Nursing Research in 2000 suggesting that hemodialysis disrupts basic sleep regulatory mechanisms.

referenceBliwise DL, Kutner NG, Zhang R, and Parker KP published a study titled 'Survival by time of day of hemodialysis in an elderly cohort' in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2001 (Volume 286, Issue 21, pages 2690–2694).

referenceBarmar et al. (2009) compared sleep/wake behavior in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 to 5 and hemodialysis populations using wrist actigraphy.

claimAmong children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease, sleep disturbance is most frequent in the dialysis group compared to pre-dialysis and transplant groups.
