Brief Summary   The population with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing rampantly due to the increasing risk factors of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. A growing number of patients with chronic kidney disease are receiving home-based care and entail support from healthcare providers, often family members, to manage the people with CKD. Caregivers are identified as the individuals who throughout treatment are most closely involved in caring for the patient and assisting the patient to accommodate and manage their chronic illness. It has been stated in the literature that caregiving demands in managing CKD that has a profound and persistent effect on family and friends can exact a toll on the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of caregivers. Yet, caregivers’ needs are out of sight and overlooked in the medical management of CKD. These situations may consequently impact negatively on the overall outcome of the CKD patients. Informal caregivers also experience stress from the additional responsibilities of managing the patients’ medical treatments, dietary needs, various clinic appointments and other psychosocial issues. The results of varied studies indicate that caregivers of CKD patients are stressed physically, emotionally and financially and are subsequently exposed to a diversity of physical and psychological risks. Also, existing research indicates that there are dietary and nutritional interventions that caregivers can be educated to use in hopes of alleviating some of the challenging symptoms that occur with CKD. Support interventions are likely to improve caregivers’ quality of life, satisfaction quotient and ability to manage better, which can indirectly improve medical and psychosocial outcomes for the care recipient. Caregivers are those who are most involved in patient care and support during the disease to help the patient adapt and manage the sickness. Caregivers for hemodialysis patients play a critical role in their lives. Caregivers for hemodialysis patients play a critical role in their lives. They are responsible for their care, medical treatment, and nourishment, as well as accompanying patients to dialysis units, assisting them in daily tasks, and providing psychological support. Families of individuals with chronic renal failure should provide assistance and care at home or in outpatient settings like hospital dialysis facilities. Patients with chronic kidneydisease (CKD) are increasingly getting home-based treatment and relying on non-professional healthcare providers, frequently family members, to help them manage their condition. Caregiving obligations, particularly in managing CKD, which has a significant and widespread influence on family and friends, are thought to take a toll on carers’ physical, social, and emotional well-being. The extra obligations of monitoring the patients’ medical treatments, food requirements, clinic appointments, and emotional concerns cause stress for informal carers. The high prevalence of physical and mental disorders among carers reflects the effects of persistent stress on them. The chronic nature of renal failure, different comorbidities of CKD, and major changes in patients’ lifestyles all contribute to the development of the disease. The role and challenges faced by caregivers in the various domains needs to be studied for effective patient management of CKD and Dialysis patients
