How long can a uremia patient live with dialysis? This question is frequently
asked by uremia patients. The situations vary with each individual from 2 or
3years to decades. So, how long can the patient live with dialysis
generally?
If the economic condition permits, guaranteeing sufficient hemodialysis to
decrease complications, and patient own condition is not bad, of that kind, the
patient can live more than twenty years. The patient must do proper exercises,
maintain regular life, supply adequate nutrition, avoid being tired and prevent
cold or other diseases, for they may aggravate renal failure.
At present, the data displays that if all the conditions go smoothly, the
survival time of hemodialysis is similar to kidney transplant. About 80%
patients can live more than one year, 60% patients can live more than 5 years.
Within the first five years, death is mainly caused by too late dialysis and
most patients are accompanied with severe complications, such as diabetes. In
addition, the patients’ age is relatively high. Afterward, moreover, for the
senile patients, even they have not entered into the Uremia Stage, it is
uncertain whether the patients will have other accident or not within that five
years.
The cause of death for the renal failure patients is due to heart, brain, and
lung complications. Heart may be aggravated by anemia and edema etc.
Hyperkalemia and Metabolic acidosis (caused by food), etc. may also lead to die.
High blood pressure can cause cerebral hemorrhage.
As to the treatment, We recommend you take some Chinese herbal medicine,
which can not only purify blood, just as dialysis does but also enhance your
self-curative ability, make those impaired but not necrotic cells alive again.
So long as part of your kidney cells can work, your kidney function will be
improved greatly. When your kidney function is improved to more than 15%, you
may avoid dialysis and live longer.
