Kidney disease is a global public health problem, affecting more than 750 million people worldwide, the magnitude and impact of kidney disease are better defined in developed countries, clinical evidence suggests that in developing countries like Angola, the impact may be greater.  Objective: To verify the sociodemographic conditions of Angolan patients with new pathologies after hemodialysis treatment.  Method: It was conducted as a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative approach, in a population consisted of 100 patients undergoing hemodialysis at the Hemodialysis Pluribus Africa Center, index of confidence was 90% and a sample margin of error of 6.8%.  Results: The results of the study showed that of the 100 patients followed, 55% (55/100) acquired new pathologies, including HIV 28% (15/55), lupus erythematosus 25% (14/55), Diabetes 18% (10/55), Tuberculosis 11% (6/55), Hepatitis C 9% (5/55), Hepatitis B 5% (3/55) and Osteoporosis 4% (2/55). The incidence of new pathologies in illiterate was 94% (16/17), with pre-school level 41% (11/27), with elementary school 11/26 (42%), with medium level 44% (8/18) and university level 75% (9/12). New pathologies in autonomous was 57% (27/47), in unemployed was 47% (17/36), in employees was 65% (11/17). The incidence of new pathologies was 42% (18/43) in patients with arterial hypertension, in malaria 59% (16/27), in diabetes mellitus it was 76% (19/25), in other diseases it was 40% (2/5). New pathologies in patients on hemodialysis for less than 6 years was 48% (39/81), in treatment between 6 and 10 years was 75% (9/12), in treatment between 11 and 15 years was 100% (7/7).  Conclusions: These factors can contribute to the reduction of life expectancy of hemodialysis patients and therefore it is necessary to carry out more studies on the factors that are associated with this, to allow the creation of more effective health policies to reduce the suffering of these patients.
