Background: Due to the high prevalence of long-term health issues and the ageing population, medication non-adherence is a widespread issue worldwide. If a patient doesn’t take their prescription as directed, they probably won’t benefit from it to its fullest extent. Aims and Objectives: To identify medication adherence among patients with CKD. Methodology: A cross sectional research design for a period of 1 year A total of 45 patients with CKD were recruited using the consecutive sampling technique. Results: The age group 53 age group 4 (SD 1.21) Majority of them lived in rural locality 4.46 (SD 1.44), Married 4.45 (SD 1.28). Employed 3.75 (SD 0.0), Joint family 4.86 (SD 1.32) and had primary education 4.25 (SD 2.28). 80% were non adherent to medication in CKD patients and 20% were adherent to medication in patients without CKD. Conclusion: To slow the progression of CKD, support of multidisciplinary action along with practice health education would enable the patients motivated to adhere to treatment regimen.
