| Project Name | Effect of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-Guided Dry Weight Adjustment, in Comparison to Standard Clinical-Guided, on the Sleep Quality of Chronic Haemodialysis Patients (BEDTIME Study): A Randomised Controlled Trial |
| Faculty/Department | Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital Mahidol University |
| Background and Significance | Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome, are amongst the most common conditions present in patients with chronic renal failure. These conditions are especially present in patients with late stage chronic renal failure, in hemodialysis 1-6. The study showed that up to 30 to 80 percent of the patients studied experience sleep disorders, with the most prevalent conditions being insomnia, followed by sleep apnea, amongst the group. Such sleep disorders often lead to fatigue and factors contributing towards a lower quality of life, including a decreased ability to work during the day, disability, and a higher mortality rate. |
| Scope and Area of Study | Thailand |
| Purpose | To study sleep quality with the use of sleep actigraphy in patients who have conditions of chronic renal failure and hemodialysis. Patients are treated according to dry weight adjustment using a BIA guided dry weight body composition monitor, in comparison to standard clinical guided dry weight. |
