Popis:	This report describes the case of a hypertensive 51-year-old male with a 3-year history of peritoneal dialysis. We followed the patient through his diagnosis of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Therapeutic use of CPAP led to the improvement of not only sleep-related problems, but also cognitive function and quality of life. To our knowledge, this is the first paper describing the benefits of longterm CPAP treatment in an OSA patient undergoing dialysis. This case report emphasizes the need for the proactive diagnosis and treatment of OSA in end-stage renal disease patients to improve patient-centered healthcare.
