Survival time of peritoneal dialysis patients is mainly affected by their disease and cannot be generalized. If peritoneal dialysis is more effective and the disease is better controlled, the survival time can be up to 10 years or even longer.
Peritoneal dialysis is mainly through the use of the peritoneum as a semi-permeable membrane, and then the use of peritoneal dialysis fluid is constantly replaced, which can help the body to remove metabolic products, toxic substances and correct water and electrolyte balance disorders in the body. It can effectively help the organism control the disease and prolong the survival time.
Peritoneal dialysis patients may threaten the patient’s life and affect the survival time if they develop related complications, such as peritonitis, or if complications such as hypertension, anemia, ionic disorders, acidosis, etc., cannot be kept stable.
However, if the patient’s peritoneal dialysis effect is high, and various indexes such as acidosis, anemia, blood pressure, calcium and phosphorus are maintained stable, then the patient’s life can be significantly prolonged, and the survival time can be up to 10 years or even longer.
Therefore, peritoneal dialysis patients should regularly monitor the relevant indicators and actively cooperate with the treatment to prolong life as much as possible. Patients who are financially and physically fit can choose to undergo kidney transplantation to cure their kidney disease.
Peritoneal dialysis patients are recommended to consult regular hospitals in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
