Cardiovascular system diseases are playing the outstanding role in the cause ofmorbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy is one of the universalstructural abnormalities in patients on regular dialysis. Objective: The target of the study wasto search out the frequency of left ventricular hypertrophy in end stage renal disease patientson maintenance hemodialysis. Study design: Single center case-series study. Setting:Department of Nephro-Urology, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences Jamshoro.Period: Begin from 1st March, 2013 to 30th August 2013. Results: Total numbers of patientswere seventy three. Thirty three patients were male and 40 were female. Mean age of thepatients was 44.19 years. High blood pressure was the most typical cause of nephropathy thatis as certain in twenty 9(39.7%) cases pursue by Diabetes and Chronic Glomerulonephritis intwenty (27.4%) in each, renal stone in four (5.5%), unresolved acute renal failure four(5.5%)and Chronic Tubulointerstitial nephritis in two(2.7%) patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy wasascertained in nineteen (26%) patients. Conclusion: Our study concedes the high frequency ofleft ventricular hypertrophy in dialysis patients.
