Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a major public health problem .most common causes of CKD are diabetes and hypertension.(1) Hypertension is cause as well as effect of CKD.CKD is risk for adverse cardiovascular events .Criteria for CKD (either of the following present for >3 months) is as follows: Markers of kidney damage (one or more) - Albuminuria (AER >or equal to30 mg/24 hours; ACR >or equal to30 mg/g >or equal to 3 mg/mmol]) (2)
Aims and objectives -To asses echocardiographic changes in patients of end stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis
