Background

Emerging evidence suggests that short duration and poor quality sleep may be associated with progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Little is known about the relationship of sleep duration/quality with incident albuminuria.

Methods

Analyses included data from 1662 U.S. Hispanic/Latino adults aged 18-64 years enrolled in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) Sueno Sleep Ancillary Study, who completed 7 days of wrist actigraphy (2011-2013) and a follow-up visit (2014-2017), and did not have CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m2 and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [ACR] <30 mg/g) at baseline. Incident albuminuria was defined as ACR ≥30 mg/g. Validated computer software algorithms were used to assess sleep duration and sleep fragmentation (calculated by summing the percentage of the sleep period that is spent moving and the percentage of the number of immobile phases that last 1minute or less). Poisson regression with follow-up years as an offset was used accounting for HCHS/SOL complex sampling design.

Results

At baseline, mean age was 37.5 years and 51.9% were female. In 5.7 years median follow-up, 71 individuals developed incident albuminuria. Higher sleep fragmentation was associated with higher incident rate of albuminuria after adjusting for center, age, sex, education, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, cardiovascular disease, depression, eGFR, and ACR (Table). Sleep duration was not associated with new-onset albuminuria.

Conclusion

Among US Hispanic/Latinos, fragmented sleep was associated with new-onset albuminuria. These findings could have implications for preventive strategies in a population which experiences a high burden of CKD.

PredictorIncident Density Ratio (95% CI)
