How Long can Dialysis Patients Live

Are you interested in how long can people on dialysis live? Perhaps you have already read so many materials about this issue. But we are here helping you learn more about dialysis and it will undoubtedly bring you new hopes.

The five year figure comes from extrapolating the average yearly mortalityn rate - always remember: Averages are made of extremes. The average mortality is above 20% a year for all people on dialysis. So if you take a group of 100 people starting dialysis and there is a 20% yearly mortality rate, then after 5 years fewer than 50 of the initial 100 people will remain alive.

However, there is no upper limit on how long someone starting dialysis today will live - I know someone who has been on dialysis continuously for over 34 years and another person who has had ESRD for nearly 40 years (she is on her forth transplant). I started dialysis in 1990, no one knows how long someone who started dialysis in 1990 will have; let alone how long someone who starts dialysis today will have. When you consider the healthier options that we have today - more frequent dialysis, especially more frequent nocturnal dialysis - there is no way to know what that means in regard to mortality.

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we use many types of Chinese therapies to help patients save his own kidneys by repairing kidney damage and recovering renal function with a series of special functions such as anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degradation, extending blood vessels, improving blood circulation, removing blood stasis and immune complexes out of body, offering kidneys nutrients and promoting DNA replication of damaged inherent cells. Are you interested in these Chinese therapies? You can directly talk to online doctor, we are glad to help.
