Oxidative Stress in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Correlation of Biomarkers and Nasal CPAP Compliance

Completed

Conditions studied: Sleep Apnea, Obstructive

In brief

The purpose of this study is to check blood and urine levels to further define markers/tests in the blood and urine that would be useful in following patients with obstructive sleep apnea and then to see if by wearing CPAP every night, these markers can be reduced. This research is being done because currently there are no effective blood or urine markers to determine how well CPAP is working.
