Our study did not find OSA on PSG in children with predominantly mild to moderate CKD. The OAHI was found to be strongly correlated with nighttime blood pressures. Future prospective studies with a larger sample size are needed to monitor for potential progression of symptoms and findings on PSG in pediatric patients as they evolve across the spectrum of CKD.
