The Life Expectancy of Patients with Kidney Dialysis

What is the life expectancy of patients with kidney dialysis? This question concerns most of patients and their family members. This article will introduce this in details.

While dialysis can be life-saving, it is only a stop-gap. It is a long, tiring, physically and emotionally draining process that is very hard on the body. Dialysis can do only about 10% of the work that a functioning kidney can do and frequently causes other severe health problems such as anemia, infection, bone disease, heart disease, and nerve damage. Consequently, the average life expectancy of a person on dialysis is only about 5 years.1 One out of every 4 patients on dialysis dies of a heart attack. "The unintended consequence of being attached to a kidney machine each week, often for the rest of your life is horrific," says Dr. W. Gifford-Jones, noted medical-column author for over 30 years. Fifteen to 25% of dialysis patients die annually.

A transplant provides a far longer life expectancy. Patients who have a transplant before dialysis becomes necessary live an average of 10–15 years longer than those on dialysis. As one physician notes, “Kidney dialysis is an amazing procedure. But it is not yet as amazing as the kidney itself.” 3 Given thefoptions, a kidney patient’s best chance for survival is to avoid dialysis altogether and to receive a transplant from a living, rather than a deceased donor.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy takes highly effects to prolong the life expectancy and help patients avoid dialysis treatment. This treatment mainly works to repair the diseased cells and kidney tissues by improving kidney function.
