Objective: To determine the pulmonary hypertension in chronic kidney diseases Patients And Methods: The one year cross sectional study was conducted at tertiary care hospital. All the patients either gender who were diagnosed as chronic kidney disease were included in the study. These patients were allowed to undergo necessary investigations and treatment. PH was defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 25 mmHg. All the specific patients had thorough clinical history, relevant clinical examination and important investigations to explore the pulmonary hypertension while the frequency / percentages (%) and means ±SD computed for study variables. Results: During one year study period total fifty patients with chronic kidney disease were explored and studied. The frequency for male and female population was 28 (56%) and 22 (44%) with mean ± SD for age of male and female individuals was 55.82±7.83 and 53.72±8.75 respectively while the mean value for pap (mmHg) was 37.72 ± 9.95. gender male 28 (56%) and female 22 (44%), diabetes mellitus 30 (60%), hypertension 32 (64%) and pulmonary hypertension 29 (58%). Conclusion: We presume that PH is a noteworthy issue in ESRD patients. Keywords: Pulmonary hypertension, Renal and Lung.
