The prevalence of depression was diagnosed through Statistical "Mental Disorders Manual" for association of these findings with hematological profiles of the patients. Results: The sample consisted of 89 patients. The sample was composed of 52 males (58.4%) and 77 patients were married (86.5%). In most of the kidney failure cases, leading causes were high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and chronic glomerulonephritis. The patients were under dialysis treatment from 03 to 49 months. The mean value for the duration of dialysis was 19.64 ± 11.7 months. Intensity of dejection was classified in to severe, moderate and mild classes. BDI score was also considered during the classification of categories. Conclusions: Many patients were removed from research because of Hemodialysis practice. Main reasons of the hazard included dejection, lack of education, spousal status, number of kids, sex, high blood pressure, financial variables and hypoalbuminemia. Patients having hyponatremia, frailty and hyperkalemia had self-destructive inclination. HCV and irritated liver capacity patients had solid relationship with mental/psychological parameters.
