Objective: to analyze patients with Acute Kidney Injury who required hemodialysis during their stay in Intensive Care. Method: analytical, quantitative study. The population consisted of patients who developed Acute Kidney Injury and required hemodialysis. The sample consisted of 110 patients, data were collected from January 2020 to June 2022; the analysis was parametric. Results: 55.45% of patients were male aged over 65 years (60.91%). The main reasons for hospitalization were cardiovascular problems (34.55%) and respiratory problems (29.09%). The main reasons for hospitalization were cardiovascular problems (39.09%), followed by infectious (33.64%) and respiratory (10.00%) diseases. 72.73% of them used Invasive Mechanical Ventilation, 94.55% vasoactive drugs and 94.55% antibiotic therapy; 67.27% of patients died. Conclusion: the profile of patients with Acute Kidney Injury in the ICU was characterized by patients with chronic conditions and their complications.
