We report a retrospective study of 800 cases of chronic renal failure (CRF) admitted in the Internal Medical Department at Teaching Hospital of Treichville in Abidjan from January 1990 to December 1990 for precising the etiological, radiological, biological, clinical and epidemiological aspects of this entity in our practice. Kidney renal failure represents 5.8% of the whole patients hospitalised at the same period. 61% of patients were less 45 years old with a weak or mild socio-economic status (92%). In clinical field, 84% of our patients had a variety signs and symptoms which referred to a late uremic state in 41% of cases. Chronic glomerulonephritis (49.1%) and nephrosclerosis (25.4%) were the two main revealed causes. In therapeutical field, 95% of our patients did not receive any treatment in dialysis.
