Popis: Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a reduced glomerular filtration rate, increased urinary albumin excretion, or both, and it is an increasing public health problem with a prevalence of 8–16%. However, there is a paucity of such studies evaluating risk factors among dialysis patients in India and also there could be associated setting specific varied contributory factors. Hence, we have undertaken this study to assess common risk factors in CKD patients admitted for dialysis to a Tertiary Care Hospital. Aims and Objectives: To assess the clinical presentation and the common risk factors in CKD patients admitted for dialysis to tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: The present study was cross-sectional study in which 100 CKD patients admitted to the dialysis unit of tertiary care hospital were included on the basis of predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and were analyzed as regards the history of illness, environment, and physical behavior was collected based on various pre-validated questionnaires (The WHO STEP wise approach to chronic disease risk factor Surveillance questionnaire for NCDs, dietary questionnaire, environmental/occupational questionnaire, and patient history questionnaire) in a face-to-face interview with participants and their family members. Etiological Risk Factors and clinical assessment of patients were studied. P
