Objective: to characterize the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients on hemodialysis in a referral center in Bragança, Pará, Brazil. Method: a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 79 patients receiving regular hemodialysis. Data was collected through medical record review and structured interviews, followed by descriptive and inferential analysis. Result: the sample was mainly composed of older adults, women, self-reported brown individuals, and people with low income. Systemic arterial hypertension associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus was the main underlying condition. Clinical variables were associated with outcomes related to delayed diagnosis, hospitalizations, and complications. Conclusion: the findings show a profile of clinical and social vulnerability, highlighting the need for early diagnosis, continuous follow-up, and better organization of the health care network.
