Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a highly prevalent sleep movement disorder usually accompanied by periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS). The incidence of RLS and PLMS in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis is much higher. Clinically, RLS and PLMS can co‐occur. We hypothesized that patients with ESRD on dialysis would have a distinct presentation of RLS, with a higher prevalence of PLMS.
