This case alerts paediatricians and renal physicians to the potential for significant sleep-disordered breathing in children with renal disease, particularly those with end stage kidney disease requiring dialysis. In some cases, management of the underlying renal disease may result in amelioration of the sleep-disordered breathing. Proactive sleep history taking and formal sleep monitoring in experienced centres may be indicated for these children to limit morbidity, especially if respiratory support is indicated.
本病例提醒儿科医生和肾脏科医生注意患有肾脏疾病的儿童，尤其是需要透析的终末期肾病儿童，可能存在严重的睡眠呼吸障碍。在某些情况下，对基础肾脏疾病的治疗可能会改善睡眠呼吸障碍。对于这些儿童，在有经验的中心积极进行睡眠史采集和正式的睡眠监测，可能有助于限制发病率，特别是如果需要呼吸支持的话。
