The main objectives of this study were, to measure the prevalence, incidence and death rate (epidemiology) among patients who have Renal Failure (RF) and undergo renal dialysis in four dialysis centres in the North Region of Oman; and to provide a description of the major characteristics of the studied patients. A cross-sectional study (descriptive-observational) was conducted. A proportional sample (n = 341) of patients from four Renal Dialysis Centres (RDC) were interviewed face to face or via telephone using a structured questionnaire. Data collection took place between October and November 2014. The incidence, prevalence and death rate are under collection until the end of December 2015. Results over the period January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2014, show 96 new patients started dialysis in the four observed RDCs. The overall incidence rate was 13 patients per 100,000. The period prevalence for the patients undergoing renal dialysis was 52 patients per 100,000. The mortality rate between 1st January 2014 and 31 December 2014 was four patients per 100,000.
