%X Background: An estimated 229 per million population ,are afflicted with end stage renal disease in our country. Chronic kidney disease poses a health threat and financial burden on patients from developing country like ours, where 70 % of the population are from rural areas which make them economically vulnerable group. The number of these patients who opt for renal transplant as an option to renal replacement therapy is uncommon by virtue of this very fact. Methods: A Study in tertiary care government hospital in South India .Our hospital has an outpatient department of 35,616 patients annually. The inpatient statistics are 2564 .Our hospital is the only one of its kind in the country. It is also a tertiary care where renal transplants are done as a renal replacement therapy. The aim is to study the incidence of chronic kidney disease, and the number of them who have opted for renal transplant as a renal replacement therapy from among the patients who are undergoing dialysis at our institution for end stage renal disease. Results: On an average the total number of cases of CKD 1254 cases per year which includes both dialysis and non dialysis patients. Out of which 426 are cases of end stage renal disease on dialysis. The later patients are then systematically screened for economics of transplant with aid from the government of Karnataka and compliance quotient. In the end the total percentage of patients from the group of end stage renal disease undergoing transplant is about 7 %. Conclusion: The incidence of chronic kidney disease is ever growing however the number of patients who opt for renal transplant is a small number especially in developing countries like ours. The constraints are many beginning with economics the dynamics of transplant and patient compatibility amongst others to name a few
