Fluoride is beneficial to health if the concentration of the fluoride ion in drinking water is less than 1.5 mg/L. Excess levels of fluoride in drinking water leads to the development of fluorosis. Particularly in Andhra Pradesh state, next to Nalgonda, Nellore district seemed to be fluoride threaten area in India. The present study has been carried out at selective areas of Udayagiri mandal to evaluate the relation between renal failure and fluorosis in means of biochemical and haematological parameters. Results showed three villages seem to be high levels of water fluoride content. Fluoride consumption leads to the development of altered haematogram. But not much effected when compared to the healthy individuals.
