This transversal study, with a descriptive-
exploratory character, aimed to analyze the presence
of arterial hypertension in patients with chronic kidney
disease undergoing hemodialysis treatment, and its
associated factors. Interviews were held with 140 patients
of an institute of nephrology located in the rural area of
the state of Minas Gerais, in August – October 2013. The
prevalence of arterial hypertension in patients with chronic
kidney disease was 78.8%. A relationship was observed
between diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemias and ignorance
regarding renal failure with arterial hypertension. It was
identified that 72.2% of the participants were above
their ideal weight, and that of these, 63.3% presented
hypertensive crisis in the interdialytic period. It is
concluded that arterial hypertension is significantly present
in individuals, and that the associated factors are: effective
adherence to the dialysis and drug treatment; control of
fluid and food intake; and physical activity.
