Abstract
PURPOSE: The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) varies between 16-54% in patients with chronic kidney disease. However its prevalence in renal transplant patients is less well studied. Furthermore, weight gain, a common side effect of post-transplant immunosuppression, is an important risk factor for OSA. We aimed to examine the prevalence of OSA and its clinical correlates in renal transplant patients referred for polysomnography (PSG) and to compare risk factors among patients with and without OSA.
