Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder characterized by an uncontrolled need to move extremities accompanied by unpleasant sensations, which frequently leads to sleep disturbances. In hemodialysis ...

Haemodialysis patients with sleep apnoea syndrome experience increased central adiposity and altered muscular composition and functionality

Sakkas, G. K.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Karatzaferi, C.; Liakopoulos, V.; Maridaki, M. D.; Pastaka, C.; Lavdas, E.; Soher, B. J.; Dovas, S.; Fezoulidis, I.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Stefanidis, I. (2008)

Background. Sleep apnoea frequently affects patients with end-stage renal disease. However, it is still unclear whether or to what extent sleep disorders may affect functional capacity and quality of life in haemodialysis ...

Restless legs syndrome does not affect 3-year mortality in hemodialysis patients

Stefanidis, I.; Vainas, A.; Giannaki, C. D.; Dardiotis, E.; Spanoulis, A.; Sounidaki, M.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Liakopoulos, V.; Karatzaferi, C.; Sakkas, G. K.; Zintzaras, E.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (2015)

Objective: Uremic restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been related to an enhanced mortality of hemodialysis (HD) patients. In the general population studies of this association have yielded inconsistent results. The aim of ...

Evidence of Increased Muscle Atrophy and Impaired Quality of Life Parameters in Patients with Uremic Restless Legs Syndrome

Giannaki, C. D.; Sakkas, G. K.; Karatzaferi, C.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Lavdas, E.; Liakopoulos, V.; Tsianas, N.; Koukoulis, G. N.; Koutedakis, Y.; Stefanidis, I. (2011)

Background: Restless Legs Syndrome is a very common disorder in hemodialysis patients. Restless Legs Syndrome negatively affects quality of life; however it is not clear whether this is due to mental or physical parameters ...

Non-Pharmacological Management of Periodic Limb Movements During Hemodialysis Session in Patients With Uremic Restless Legs Syndrome

Giannaki, C. D.; Sakkas, G. K.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Karatzaferi, C.; Patramani, G.; Lavdas, E.; Liakopoulos, V.; Koutedakis, Y.; Stefanidis, I. (2010)

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is very common in hemodialysis patients. RLS induces motor excitability and discomfort during rest periods, and those symptoms have also been observed during hemodialysis sessions. The aim of ...
