Comparative study of age and sex specific distribution amongst patients of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Worldwide, the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the elderly has risen in the past decades resulting in a rapidly growing number of older patients starting haemodialysis.(1-2) The elderly have a higher prevalence of comorbidities that increase the burden of dialysis, and a substantially higher mortality rate compared with younger counterparts.(3-4) ESRD is one of major worldwide wellbeing issues. Although most nephrologists acknowledge that iHD is the least desirable modality, 88% of the prevalent ESKD patient population on dialysis use iHD, and only 11% use PD. (5) Its predominance is continuously expanding around the world. In ESRD, hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis are basically utilized for renal replacement therapy.(6-7) Aim and Objectivies: Comparative study of age and sex specific distribution amongst patients of hemodialys is and peritoneal dialysis. Materials and Methods: This Comparative Observational study was conducted on diagnosed patients of end stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis in Department of Biochemistry in collaboration with Department of Nephrology MGM Medical College and Hospital, Chh.Sambhajinagar. The study was done between october 2023 and may 2024. Results and conclusion: In present study majority cases i.e., 31 (44 %) were from age group 21 to 40 years followed by 24 (34 %) cases from 41 to 60 years.> 60years of age 14 cases (20 %).In the present study, male cases were 44 (62.5%) and female cases were 26 (37.5%). The male-to-female ratio was 1.69:1.
