초록 To evaluate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of Saudi dialysis patients with a positive family history of kidney disease and to compare these to those without such a history. Secondary objective was  to assess the certainty of the diagnoses of causes CKD among   by the physicians   This is a cross-sectional survey based study on adult Saudi patients on hemodialysis in in four Saudi cities. The survey had two parts. The first part (filled by the physicians) asked about the patient’s sex, age, dialysis vintage, CKD vintage, cause of the renal failure and whether the diagnosis is definitive or speculative. The second part (filled by the patients) asked about the presence of kidney disease among first degree relatives     1080 patients were included, 55.4% males. The mean age  was 56.1±20 years,  the dialysis vintage was 5.7±5.9 years and the mean time between diagnosis of CKD and onset of dialysis was 3.0±5.6 years  Table 1 shows the causes of the CKD as determined by the patients’ physician and its certainty;  57.8% were either “unknown” (33%) or only “speculative (25.3%).  In those with a diagnostic label, the diagnosis was thought to be definitive in only 62.2% of the cases’”.  21.5% had first-degree relatives with kidney disease. More patients with “unknown” or “hypertensive” diagnosis were seen among patients with FH than in those without (p=007 and 0.005).   No difference in the prevalence FH  was seen by age (p=0.5). Dialysis vintage was  shorter (p=0.03)  and CKD vintage  longer  (p=0.0001) in the patients with FH  (table 2) More patients with “unknown” or “hypertensive” diagnostic labels were seen in patients with FH suggesting  that under the umbrella of “unknown” or “hypertensive” diagnostic labels,  genetically-based kidney diseases might well be concealed. Dialysis vintage was significantly shorter  and CKD vintage AM24was significantly  longer  in the patients with FH.
