I a on dialysis and get back pain at night when i sleep?

Relationship?: Not sure there is any relationship between the two. One question would be to determine if anything else has changed that might have started causing the back pain. New bed, new exercise, etc...

Multiple causes: You could have osteomalacia (vitamin d deficiency) that can cause bone pain. There is also risk of osteoporotic compression fracture of the spine. Commonest would be mechanical pain related to muscles and ligaments of the spine. Rare causes include spinal tumors. A good history, exam and some simple tests should establish diagnosis and guide treatment. Discuss with your nephrologist or pcp.
