| Abstract:

The number of patients on dialysis in India currently at about 100,000 and the prevalence of Chronic Kidney
Disease in different regions of India is ranges from <1-13%. Two third of the Indian population lives in rural
areas where dialysis centers were unavailable and dialysis patients have to travel more than 50km to access the
hemodialysis facility. Dialysis patients with Chronic Kidney Disease have to undergo numerous treatments
because of comorbidities associates with Chronic Kidney Disease. In some cases, patients were unable to
adhere to treatment because of various factors such as socio-economic, depression, or any other diseasespecific or in geriatric patients. Therefore proper attention should be given to patient care. If pharmaceutical
care service is implemented in all health care system especially with complicated diseases then subsequently it
may help in preventing drug-related problems as well as improving patient’s quality of life and outcome.
