Does renal function decline slower in those with sleep apnea?

[摘要] Canales et al. [1] retrospectively analyzed the serial measurements of serum creatinine from 855 participants in the Wisconsin cohort with a mean follow-up of 13.9 ± 3.4 years. They found the decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time did not differ between those with and without sleep apnea (SA). After excluding those on positive airway pressure (PAP), the decline of renal function was significantly slower in those with SA. In addition, the author did not find an association between SA and rapid decline in eGFR, as defined decline more than 2.2 mL min−1 1.73 m−2 year−1 of...
