Abstract

Abstract : Objective: : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent and neglected chronic respiratory disease in Chile. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health problem, which is often associated with other chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Several studies have shown a relationship between OSA and impaired renal function. The objective is to study this association in the Chilean adult population. Figure. No caption available. Design and method: From the National Health Survey 2010 the risk level of OSA was obtained in subjects 18 years old or more, using a clinical prediction rule (CPR) based on the STOP-Bang Questionnaire. With the total score the subjects were classified as Low (<3), Medium (3–4), and High Risk (5 or more). The results were compared for plasma creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary sodium in urine of 24 h, albumin/creatinine ratio in urine sample, and SBP/DBP average of 3 measuremets. An ANOVA test and a p < 0.05 were used. Results: : Of the 5, 069 subjects in the sample, 4, 234 (83.5%) met the requirements of the CPR, 60% were women. There were no significant differences between men and women, except in the lower urinary sodium excretion and albumin in urine of 24 h, in women, despite similar daily salt intake. Conclusions: : There were no significant differences between men and women, except in the lower urinary sodium excretion and albumin in urine of 24 h, in women, despite similar daily salt intake.
