The Life Expectancy for Patients with Kidney Dialysis

What is the life expectancy for patients with kidney dialysis? This article will introduce this in details.

The average life expectancy of a person on hemodialysis is less than 3 years and hasn't changed in 20 years. The Hemodialysis (HEMO) trial, a randomized trial to determine whether increasing urea removal to the maximum practical degree through a 3-times-a-week schedule, showed no difference in mortality in the treatment and control groups. Investigators speculated that the increment in functional waste removal in the HEMO study was too small to produce improvements in mortality. To test this hypothesis, the NIDDK funded the Frequent Hemodialysis Network, a consortium of centers testing whether patients randomized to intensive dialysis would demonstrate improved (reduced) left ventricular LV mass and quality of life. The trial has two arms: the daily (in-center) and the home (nocturnal) arms. Each arm has patients randomized to conventional dialysis or 6 days (or nights) of dialysis.

Those undergoing kidney dialysis treatment possess a very general, average life expectancy of four years. But many scenarios come into play with some patients enjoying a bountiful life for as long as 25 years.
"We do not yet know how long patients on dialysis will live," says the National Kidney Foundation. "We think that some dialysis patients may live as long as people without kidney failure."

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the best treatment to deal with kidney disease. Since this treatment aims at improving kidney function, there is a lot of hope to reverse kidney dialysis. And patients can live as long as normal people do.
