Introduction:

chronic kidney disease is every time more recognized as a public health care problem of great importance.

Objective:

Methods:

The sample comprised 65 physicians according to inclusion and exclusion criteria; theoretical, empirical and statistical methods were applied.

Results:

sixty percent (60 %) of the physicians considered it is important to identify the risk factors, which will allow the application of therapeutic interventions in early stages, 41,5 % reported not knowing that the control of cardiovascular risk factors is effective in reducing the onset and progression of the chronic kidney disease; 41,5 % of the physicians did not know that positive proteinuria in two urine samples is the most important and early marker of renal damage; 70,7 % of them referred that they know that in patients who smokes the abstinence or smoking cessation is recommended and 73,8 % reported not knowing about aspects related to protein-restrictions in the diet.
