Introduction: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a pathology in which the loss of normal functioning of the kidneys is evident, once it reaches the advanced stage it causes the accumulation of fluids, electrolytes and waste throughout the body. Objective: To determine the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure from various health institutions in Ecuador. Methodology: This investigation was carried out under the quantitative approach since it was desired to know the level of quality of life of patients from several cities in Ecuador, in this investigation the descriptive level was used, which includes the registration, analysis and interpretation of the current nature and the composition or processes of the phenomena. It focused on prevailing conclusions and how people, groups, or things might function in the present. The descriptive research focused on concrete realities and was fundamentally characterized by providing a correct interpretation. The population consisted of 18 patients with chronic renal failure from various health institutions in Ecuador.
