The design of the research was descriptive correlation. The instruments were questionnaires of fluid management, and life quality. There were 92 respondents, taken by using purposive sampling technique. Results. The results showed that on average, the respondents still had quite high fluid excess which mean score, median, and deviation standard of fluid management were 78.07, 77.50, and 9.50 respectively. The qualities of their lives decreased significantly with mean 59.61 (SD 21.32). The analysis of research results used Pearson testing (bivariate analysis). The results of correlation analysis showed that there was not any correlation between fluid management and hemodialysis patients' life qualities (p= 0.253 and r= -0.120). Patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis field of weight gain interdialisis more than 3.9% causes them to be at a risk of developing complications of fluid overload so that decreased quality of life.
