Clinical Article
Turek NF et al. – The negative impact of sleep disorders on vascular compliance and endothelial function also may have a deleterious effect on chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Optimizing sleep duration and quality and treating sleep disorders may reduce the severity and delay the progression of CKD.
