Objective. Determination of the effect of impaired sleep-wakefulness on quality of life (QoL) indicators in patients suffering from arterial hypertension (AH) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Material and methods. 55 patients including 20 (36.4%) men and 35 (63.6%) women with documented arterial hypertension and CKD were randomized in the study. To assess the sleep quality (SQ), the Pittsburgh QS Index (PSQI); the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) were used; QoL was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire.
Results. Most of the study participants showed a decrease in SQ and an impaired sleep-wakefulness. This leads to a decrease in QoL in patients with arterial hypertension and CKD. Impaired sleep-wakefulness in patients of this group most pronouncedly affect such criteria for assessing quality of life as physical functioning, pain intensity, mental health, and especially life activity.
Conclusion. Violation of the sleep quality was inherent in the majority of the examined. Impaired sleep-wakefulness leads to a decrease in QoL in patients suffering from arterial hypertension and CKD.
