Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Patients with Polycystic Liver and Kidney Disease Referred for Transcatheter Arterial Embolization.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent among patients with CKD, but its prevalence among patients with symptomatic autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and its association with total liver and kidney volume remain unclear.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

This study examined the association between height-adjusted total liver and kidney volume (htTLKV) and SDB in a cross-sectional study of 304 adult patients with symptomatic ADPKD who were hospitalized at Toranomon Hospital for transcatheter arterial embolization and who underwent pulse oximetry between April 2008 and November 2013. SDB was defined as having a 3% oxygen desaturation index of ≥15 events per hour of sleep. Logistic regression was performed with sex-
