Since few episodes had more than one complication, total complications were 168. Age group of 61-70 years had the maximum number of complications (30.3%).CKD patients had more number of complications than Acute kidney injury (AKI) and the most frequent complication occurring during HD was vascular access (18.18%) and hypotension(18.18%) and the least was hypertension(1.01%). Patients having both DM and HTN as comorbidities had more severe and fatal complications than patients having just any one co morbidity with maximum number of complications occurring in age group of 61-70 years.
