End-stage kidney disease (ESRD)is the widely prevalent non communicable disease in India. It also contribute to the major cause of loss of life.
This narrative review aimed at to find the current status of ESRD in India.
An elaborative literature search was conducted among peer reviewed and indexed journals with different terminologies in the different data bases like CIHAL, MEDLINE, PUBMED. Study surveyed about 316 studies and the findings were concluded from 11 survey studies.
Three of the 11 studies reported diabetes mellitus and hypertension are the major cause of ESRD. Early identification and treatment can prevent this complication. The exact magnitude of the burden of chronic kidney disease or end-stage kidney disease is not known because of lack of accurate registries’ and failure of reporting systems. One of the population-based study the incidence of ESRD would be 152 per million population.
Prevalence of ESRD is rapidly increasing in India due to the hike in the counterpart contribution of diabetes and hypertension.
