Conclusions: This study was in line with available literature of Hecking et al and Shankar et al.$The ratio of women to men, in maintenance hemodialysis population is approximately 1:2.2, thus predominated by male group.$ Dialysis women, when compared to male counterpart (1) get initiated on renal replacement therapy quite late.(2) are less frequent to dialysis schedules and often noncompliant (3) lack permanent vascular access (4) remain socio-economically backward, due to poor educational status, unemployment and are highly dependent on their attendents.(5) have less plans of transplant.( 6) have lower quality of life as validated with QOL scales.( 7) are associated to have higher drop out rates as well as mortality $The major factors influencing mortality of women dialysis patients are elder age, comorbid burden of diabetes and cardiac disease, noncompliance to dialysis and absence of permanent vascular access.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
