Abstract This is a cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive study, carried out in Uberaba-MG, Brazil, from August 2016 to February 2017. It aims to evaluate and correlate sociodemographic and clinical aspects with the quality of life of individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. The following instruments were applied to 51 participants: questionnaires with sociodemographic/clinical information and the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short Form 1.3, punctuated by the “Scoring Program (v2.0)”. Normality tests and inferential correlation analysis were performed. The domains with the best results were "Sexual Function", "Cognitive Function" and "Support of the dialysis team", and the worst were "Work situation", "Role of physical limitation" and "Physical Health". The domains Physical Functionality" and "Physical Health" were negatively correlated with age (r = -0.521 and r = -0.380, respectively) and "General Health" and "Effects of Kidney Disease" with dry weight (r = -0.319 er = -0.502, respectively). These results indicate a compromised quality of life, requiring general attention to these individuals in conjunction with actions that promote better general health conditions.
