Many patients with dialysis want to know how long they can live just depend on dialysis. So they want to know the life expectancy of the kidney failure patients with dialysis. The following content will give you the answer.
Dialysis is strictly administered to patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In some cases, patients awaiting a kidney transplant might be asked to undergo dialysis as a temporary measure. It must be noted that dialysis cannot cure kidney failure. This is only a procedure for carrying out the primary functions of fluid removal and waste removal from the human body. Dialysis is categorized into hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. People in the end-stage renal failure will need to undergo dialysis for the rest of their life, unless they opt for a kidney transplant.
The prognosis for a person in the end-stage renal failure depends on various factors. While dialysis can be life-saving, and there are people who live beyond the expected life expectancy, prognosis could be poor due to the associated illnesses. Though opting for dialysis may result in extended survival, when compared to people opting for conservative management, factors such as age, functional status, and co-existing medical conditions may affect the life expectancy.
