Abstract
Data regarding epidemiolocal and clinical profile of patients in a haemodialysis unit in South India is scarce. This study was conducted to describe the epidemiological and clinical profiles of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients undergoing haemodialysis in Kanyakumari Government Medical College Hospital. This was a cross-sectional study in which all ESRD patients on haemodialysis were evaluated. Of the 76 patients (82.9%) were males. Diabetes was the most common cause of ESRD in34 (77.4%) patients. Seventy-four (97.4%) patients had emergency dialysis initiation through central venous cannulation. Interdialytic weight gain was lower [1.76 kilograms (SD-0.76)] and dialysis vintage was longer [29.24 months (SD- 15.93)] in patients receiving thrice weekly haemodialysis.
Keywords: epidemiological profile; clinical profile; haemodialysis.
