The Average Life Expectancy of Kidney Failure with Dialysis

The average life expectancy of kidney failure concerns patients and their family members a lot. This article will introduce you the average life expectancy of kidney failure.

The kidneys are paired organs that filter out wastes from the blood, thereby maintaining the fluid and electrolyte balance, and regulating the composition of the blood. The term 'kidney failure' refers to the inability of the kidneys to perform the aforementioned functions. In case of people affected by chronic kidney disease, the kidney function gets adversely affected over a period of time. Kidney failure is divided into five stages. In the end-stage renal failure, about 85% - 90% of the kidney function is lost, and the affected person has a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 15. During this stage, dialysis or kidney transplant are suggested as the treatment options.

Though dialysis may offer a better quality of life and extend the survival, people undergoing this procedure often have multiple health concerns, which can have an adverse impact on the life expectancy. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases reports the one-year survival rate for dialysis patients to be around 80%, whereas the two-year, five-year, and ten-year survival rates are around 64%, 33%, and 10% respectively.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the best alternative treatment to improve kidney function. This treatment is used externally. The Chinese herbs contained in this therapy should be refined into powder and then collected into two medicated bags which is put on patients’ low back area. With the help of osmotic machine, the active substances can come out and then penetrate into kidney lesions directly.
