STUDIES OF DIABETIC KIDNEY DISEASE (DKD)
Ohkuma et al. (16) Cross-sectional; Japan 4,870 eGFR [simplified Japanese GFR inference formula equation (28)] Albuminuria and macroalbuminuria, defined as UACR 30 mg/g and 300 mg/g, respectively 6.5 ≤ h <7.5 ≥8.5 h was associated with reduced eGFR <4.5 h and ≥7.5 h were associated with albuminuria and higher log-transformed UACR levels <5.5 h and ≥7.5 h were associated with macroalbuminuria
Meng et al. (15) Cross-sectional; China 1,220 DKD, defined as albuminuria (urinary levels of 24-h microalbumin >30 mg/24 h) and/or eGFR [MDRD equation (29)] <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 6 ≤ h ≤ 9 <6 h was associated with DKD
STUDIES OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD)
Sasaki et al. (30) Prospective cohort; Japan 3,600 Incident CKD, defined as eGFR [simplified Japanese GFR inference formula equation (28)] <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 5 < h < 8 Sleep duration was not associated with risk of CKD. However, 5 ≤ h of sleep was associated with incident CKD in a subgroup of shift workers
McMullan et al. (31) Prospective cohort; USA 4,238 Incident CKD, defined as eGFR [MDRD equation (29)] <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 Rapid decline in eGFR, defined as a decrease in ≥30% eGFR from 1989 to 2000 Albuminuria, defined as UACR ≥30 mg/g 7 ≤ h ≤ 8 5 ≤ h was associated with incident CKD and incident albuminuria 6 ≤ h was associated with rapid decline in eGFR
Yamamoto et al. (32) Retrospective cohort; Japan 6,834 Incident proteinuria, defined as ≥+1 on the dipstick test ≥7 h 5 ≤ h was associated with incident proteinuria
Salifu et al. (32, 33) Cross-sectional; USA 128,486 Self-reported CKD 7 h 6 ≤ h and ≥8 h were associated with CKD
Guo et al. (34) Cross-sectional; China 5,555 Reduced eGFR [CKD-EPI equation (21)], defined as <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 7 ≤ h ≤ 8 6 ≤ h was associated with reduced eGFR
Thawornchaisit et al. (35) Cross-sectional; Thailand 87,143 Self-reported CKD 6 < h <9 6 ≤ h was associated with CKD in men. Sleep duration was not associated with CKD in women
Petrov et al. (36) Cross-sectional; USA 8,690 UACR, and microalbuminuria defined as UACR ≥30 mg/mmol 7 h 5 ≤ h was associated with microalbuminuria Both shorter and longer durations of sleep were related to increased UACR
Choi et al. (37) Cross-sectional; South Korea 1,360 Serum creatinine, proteinuria [≥+1 dipstick test), and eGFR (MDRD equation (29)] CKD, defined as either proteinuria or eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 7 ≤ h <8 In women, ≥9 h was associated with high serum creatinine, low eGFR, and CKD in women In men, sleep duration was not associated with serum creatinine, eGFR or CKD
Kim et al. (38) Cross-sectional; South Korea 241,607 CKD, defined as eGFR [CKD-EPI equation (21)] <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 Proteinuria, defined as ≥+1 on the dipstick test 7 h ≥9 h was associated with CKD 5 ≤ h and ≥9 h were associated with proteinuria in female and male subgroups, respectively

CKD, chronic kidney disease; CKD-EPI, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; DKD, diabetic kidney disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; MDRD, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease. In all studies, the exposure variable was self-reported sleep duration.
