How important is sleep when you have kidney disease? What are common sleep disorders associated with kidney disease? Are you getting enough sleep? These are just a few of the questions we'll cover in our upcoming conversation about Sleep Health and its relation to Kidney Health.

This month, our featured expert panelist is Dr. Daniel Cukor, Director of Behavior Health at the Rogosin Institute in New York. His current research interests are focused on depression, anxiety, sleep difficulty, pain, and caregiver burden in patients with end-stage renal disease. Dr. Cukor has lectured nationally and internationally on psychosocial issues for patients with CKD and has written extensively in the scientific literature, with his work cited over 3,000 times. He is also an editor of the upcoming volume “Psychosocial Issues in Chronic Kidney Disease.”
