Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and strongly linked to obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Besides elevating cardiovascular disease risk, OSA may worsen renal function and diminish quality of life, making its understanding critical for CKD patient health.
This study will establish a large, long-term cohort of non-dialysis CKD patients to identify OSA risk factors, explore OSA's association with adverse renal outcomes, and determine OSA prevalence and epidemiological characteristics within the CKD population. The findings will provide a scientific foundation for early OSA identification, diagnosis, and intervention in CKD patients.

Primary outcome measure(s)
The Progression of Chronic Kidney Diseases in CKD Patients — six months the progression of chronic kidney diseases is defined as: Patients had a 40% or a greater decrease in baseline eGFR(estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate); End-Stage Renal Disease (eGFR\< 15 ml/min/1.73 m2, initiation of renal replacement therapy or renal transplantation )
Renal death or Cardiovascular death — six months Deaths Directly Caused by Renal or Cardiovascular Dysfunction or Their Acute or Chronic Complications
