Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the frailty level of elderly people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study involving 60 participants and carried out at a Renal Replacement Therapy Unit. The Edmonton Frail Scale, translated and validated to Portuguese, was used as the instrument of research.RESULTS: Around 35.0% of the elderly showed no frailty, 26.7% were vulnerable, 20.0% showed mild frailty, 13.3% moderate frailty and 5.0% severe frailty.CONCLUSION: The frailty level of elderly people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis was high and the number of elderly people who are vulnerable to frailty was also high.
