Aim:To evaluate the quality of life of people with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) in hemodialysis treatment through the KDQOL-SF^TM. Methods: Study descriptive-analytical, quantitative, with KDQOL-SF^TM, in 32 patients with CRF. The answers to the questions of the questionnaire were distributed in a dichotomous scale and Likert scales, with the number of points ranging from ten to three. Results: The highest scores were the areas: the stimulation of the hemodialysis team (98, 44), sexual function (94.14) and symptoms and problems (76.04). The lowest were: burden of renal disease (12.34), physical function (23.44) and social support (30.21). Conclusion: The aspects that most affect the quality of life of these people encourage reflection about better planning and integral care by the health team, in order to attain a life of higher quality.
