Abstract
Background: end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has become a worldwide health concern. In developed countries, there is electronic data registry, which allows easy statistical analysis and determination of the size of the problem for future plans. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence rate, etiology, and risk factors for ESRD in Aswan governorate, Upper Egypt. Patients and Methods: Our study was subjected to patients with end stage renal disease on maintenance hemodialysis. This case controlled longitudinal study was carried on 1000 patients with ESRD in Aswan governorate from June 2017 through June 2018.
