Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem. Characterizing the nutritional profile of these patients allows earlydiagnosis of possible nutritional risks. The objective was to evaluate the nutritional status and dietary intake of hemodialysispatients. A cross-sectional study was performed at a hemodialysis clinic from February to April 2016. Patients 18 yearsof age or older who underwent treatment for at least three months and were able to perform the Bioimpedance testwere included. Nutritional status was determined by Body Mass Index. The Palmar Grip Strength was measured bydynamometer and the Adductor Muscle Thickness of the Thumb was by an adipometer, food intake was analyzedthrough a 24-hour Food Recall. A Global Subjective Assessment was performed, adapted for kidney patients. Of the 33patients, 66.7% were males, with a mean age of 57.6 ± 14.2 years. According to the body mass index, eutrophy wasprevalent (54.5%). The thickness of the adductor muscle of the thumb showed severe depletion (66.7%). Palmar gripstrength ranked 72.7% of patients as malnourished. Body Fat, obtained through Bioimpedance, was high in 57.6%. TheGlobal Subjective Assessment ranked 87.9% of patients with mild malnutrition. According to the 24-hour food recall, thetotal caloric intake averaged 1493 ± 530 Kcal. The protein mean was 0.88 ± 0.4 g / kg. The study allowed to visualizenutritional alterations, food intake below the recommended amounts, and different classifications of the nutritional statedepending on the method used. Thus, a comprehensive nutritional assessment becomes important
