Chronic kidney disease is considered a worldwide public health problem because of the high mortality rates and the physical, social and emotional limitations that interfere significantly in quality of life. The evaluation of the quality of life of chronic kidney disease carrier has demonstrated commitment to many aspects of life of these individuals and it was directed mainly to patients on dialysis. The number of referrals for pre - dialysis monitoring, resulting from complications due to comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus is growing, and it requires that the focus of assistance is not only early diagnosis and treatment of disease, but also, aspects related to subjectivity, the perceptions of individuals in relation to their well - being and quality of life (QOL). At present there is no specific instrument to assess QOL of individuals in pre- dialysis treatment. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with QOL related to the health of the chronic kidney disease carrier in pre- dialysis treatment. An analytical cross-sectional study was developed in three nephrology clinics of large hospitals in the city of Goiânia/Goiás, with 130 patients in stage IV and V of chronic kidney disease. Data collection was done through the application of socio - demographic - clinical - laboratory questionnaire and the specific QOL instrument for kidney disease, KDQOL -SF. A total of 57.7% of patients were male and the group average age was approximately 64 years old. Most patients were classified as stage 4 (69.2%) and some had no schooling (54.6 %). Among the comorbidities detected hypertension was more prevalent, followed by diabetes mellitus and 28.5% of patients had hemoglobin levels lower than expected. The dimensions of quality of life "the professional role" (25.38) and "the physical function" (28.08) showed lower values while "the stimulus by the clinic staff" (88.37) and "the cognitive function" (86.00) had the highest average. QOL is more compromised in women and in patients with five or more children who do not work and have no income, who are obese, hypertensive and show alterations especially in urea and creatinine. It was shown that QOL is influenced by chronic kidney disease, especially when there is change in laboratory parameters which control may extend the start of dialysis therapy or even minimize possible organic misfits. The KDQOL -SF was adequate to evaluate the QOL of individuals in pre- dialysis treatment. The gaps shown by the assessment of QOL in this study showed the importance of care to the kidney patient in the pre- dialysis phase, requiring more effective attention to the subjective demands. This could be achieved if the individual is taught to manage his condition, and it is essential a multidisciplinary monitoring to consider the level of patient understanding, so he can transform the information provided in benefits for his own health.
