Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the major health problems in modern world. Peripheral neuropathy is considered to be an important complication in these patients. It can cause foot ulcers and may lead to circulatory problems. Regular and timely screening has the potential in reducing the incidence of complications due to peripheral neuropathy. The present study is conducted to measure the frequency of peripheral neuropathy among patients with CKD being treated with hemodialysis. Objectives:-To measure the frequency of peripheral neuropathy among patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods:- The current study was conducted in Al-Jabar Kidney Center under the Ministry of Health in Al-Ahsa region, Eastern province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Peripheral neuropathy was evaluated clinically in patients included. Results:- About 62.5 % patients of CKD were found to have peripheral neuropathy clinically. Out of these 78 % were diabetics while 94 % were hypertensive.
