Abstract: Introduction: chronic kidney disease is a chronic non-communicable disease marked by the gradual loss of kidney function over a period of more than three months, with transplantation being the most appropriate therapeutic choice in these cases. Aging is one of the main risk factors for developing the disease and, consequently, leads to the inclusion of these patients on the transplant list. This process can become a prolonged wait and generate feelings of disbelief in the cure, non-resolution of the problem and, consequently, feelings of anxiety when believing that you will not be able to spend more time with your family and not achieve the expected improvement in quality of life. With the transplant. Objective: to understand the feelings and expectations of elderly people registered on the kidney transplant waiting list. Method: descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, carried out with 10 elderly people registered on the kidney transplant waiting list. To collect data, a semi-structured interview was used. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and subjected to content analysis, thematic modality. The project was approved by the institutional research and ethics committee under CAAE protocol: 66283122.9.0000.5327. Results: feelings of anxiety and hopelessness are common in the pre-kidney transplant period, and increase as the wait gets longer. On the other hand, the expectation of improved quality of life and independence motivates transplantation. Conclusion: health education is essential for patients to feel more prepared, informed and supported during the waiting process on the transplant list.
