description INTRODUCTION: There are particularities of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in women and their treatment. The biology of women exposes them to greater risk factors for CKD and both pregnancy and the postpartum period place an additional burden on renal health. Pregnancy complications may cause or worsen CKD. OBJECTIVE: To explore the experiences of women with CKD undergoing hemodialysis in relation to their reproductive history. METHODS: This study consisted of clinical-qualitative design with semi-structured individual interviews and open-ended questions. The sample selection was intentional and according to the theoretical saturation criterion. The data analysis was carried out based on the seven steps of the clinical-qualitative content analysis and validated by Nvivo11. This study was conducted in a public hemodialysis clinic of the Brazilian National Health System. RESULTS: Twelve women undergoing hemodialysis were interviewed. The results from the analysis revealed three categories: 1) Association of pregnancy with CKD; 2) Nebulosity in relation to diagnosis and reproductive history 3) Being a woman undergoing hemodialysis. CONCLUSION: Our study showed the importance of considering the specificities of CKD in women, suggesting that these issues are important for diagnosis and treatment adherence. Consideration of reproductive life history allows the health of women undergoing hemodialysis to be promoted holistically, including aspects of mental health.
