Why Patients with Uremia Suffer from Sleep Disorder

Sleep disorder is a lasting torment for some patients with Uremia. It can disorder the normal physiological and metabolic activities. Also it can affect their life quality and make them feel tired all day long. Why patients with Uremia suffer from sleep disorder? Is there any way to relieve it?

In Uremia, the metabolic products can not be excreted from blood normally thus accumulating in body. These metabolic products can do harm to multiple organs and tissues. The causes related to sleep disorder in Uremia are as follows:
△ The metabolic toxins, especially the moderate molecular substances, can impair thee respiratory center and never system. The routine dialysis can only clear up the micromolecule toxins like creatinine, urea nitrogen etc, but a lot of moderate molecular toxins will remain in the blood.
△ Most of the patients with Uremia have metabolic acidosis, especially metabolic acidosis. It can cause apnea and snoring which can affect the sleep quality seriously.
△ Uremic toxins can cause declined pharyngeal muscular tension and neuromuscular coordination function disorder. As a result, the patients with Uremia often have blockage of the upper airway and snoring and apnea when breathing.
From the above article, it can be seen that the accumulation of metabolic products in body is the underlying cause of sleep disorder in Uremia. To eliminate the sleep problem, the patients should discharge the metabolic wastes firstly.

Generally speaking, dialysis can relieve the problem to some extent. However, it can not take over the native kidneys completely. Therefore, dialysis can not treat the patients’ sleep disorder fundamentally or improve renal function at all.
Therefore, what the patients with Uremia should do is to take relevant treatment to recover the normal function of the native kidneys. Once the renal function is reversed, they will be able to excrete the metabolic products normally as before. Afterwards, the sleep disorder will also disappear.
