Objective: To evaluate the level of functional health literacy and knowledge about chronic kidney disease (DRC) in patients under conservative treatment. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative study carried out in a public reference hospital in Pernambuco, Brazil, in 2018. The sample, non-probabilistic for convenience, included 34 patients in the outpatient follow-up of DRC with conservative treatment. The following instruments were applied: sociodemographic questionnaire, clinical profile, questionnaire on the knowledge of the basic principles in the conservative treatment of DRC, and the B-TOFHLA test (Brief Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults), to evaluate the level of functional health literacy (LFS). Results: It was found that the knowledge of 85.3% (n = 29) of the participants is sufficient concerning the basic principles of conservative treatment of DRC. Regarding the LFS, the inadequate level was prevalent in 14.7% (n = 5) of the participants. Regarding the association of the influence of literacy on knowledge about the treatment of DRC, there was greater knowledge in the group with adequate literacy (90.0%; n = 9), while in the group with inadequate literacy (borderline), the prevalence of sufficient knowledge was 83.3% (n = 20). It was also observed that, in addition to education, religion is also statistically relevant (p = 0.003; p = 0.048) for the adequate level of FHL in the studied group. Conclusion: Participants with DRC under conservative treatment obtained an inadequate level of functional health literacy and sufficient knowledge about the disease and treatment. These findings referring to knowledge point out that just transferring it to users is not enough for decisions that involve self-management of health.
