Nephrotic Syndrome

Hi Allison,
Thank you for your quick reply!
I was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2019 and thankfully, it is being managed with medications and a healthier lifestyle. But ever since, I find it harder to fall and stay asleep. One of the issues is waking up multiple times to use the bathroom - one of the medications is a diuretic. And if I eat something with high amounts of sodium, it results in the need to drink lots of water before bedtime, resulting in poor sleep, so I'm mindful of what I eat. Just wondering if anyone else in the community has similar issues and if so, how they deal with it and proper sleep at the same time.
Sincerely,
-Ray

Hi , this is a great question! I haven't seen anything on the site about kidney disease and insomnia, but hopefully, someone with a similar experience will chime in. How long after your kidney disease diagnosis did you start experiencing insomnia? Best, Allison (Team Member)
