Abstract
Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is determined by the presence of kidney injury and by the level of renal function, assessed according to the glomerular filtration rate.
 Methods: This observational case study will be conducted among patients of newly diagnosedor known cases of chronic kidney disease admitted or attending outdoor clinic at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital Jodhpur.
 Results: Twenty three patients out of 75 were diabetic, 19 patients had chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology and 12 had both DM and HTN, only one patient had CKD because of RCC.
 Conclusion: Most common etiologies of CKD patients on hemodialysis are Diabetic nephropathy.
 Keywords: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Hypertension, Diabetes.

WHO has identified kidney diseases as 12th and 17th major cause of death and disability worldwide, respectively. 4,5 This study was conducted to see the etiological profile of the CKD patients
Fifty two (69.33%) patients out of 75 were more than 40 year of age. 40 patients (53.3%) were male and 35 (46.7%) were female
Summary
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is determined by the presence of kidney injury and by the level of renal function, assessed according to the glomerular filtration rate. The clinical course is typically a progressive loss of nephron function leading to end stage renal disease (ESRD) characterized by hypertension, anemia, renal bone disease, nutritional impairment, neuropathy, impaired quality of life and reduced life expectancy needing some form of renal replacement therapy. This puts a substantial burden on global health resources since all modalities of treatment are expensive. WHO has identified kidney diseases as 12th and 17th major cause of death and disability worldwide, respectively. 4,5 This study was conducted to see the etiological profile of the CKD patients
