OSA is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may accelerate a decline in kidney function. It is not clear whether treatment of OSA with CPAP improves kidney function. ⋯ Although CPAP did not provide additional renal benefits over usual care in all CKD patients, some evidence suggested that CPAP slowed the decline in eGFR in CKD patients with a lower risk of CKD progression. These preliminary data support the need for larger clinical trials exploring the effects of CPAP on kidney function.
