How long can you live on dialysis for kidney failure?

Patients need renal replacement therapy after renal failure, and the most common treatment option is currently dialysis. For patients who start dialysis life expectancy, with the current level of dialysis, there is about 15-20 years of survival, and there is a relatively good quality of life. Dialysis is divided into two types: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, for example: 1. Hemodialysis requires about four hours three times a week to remove excess water and toxins from the body through filters and hemodialyzers; 2. Peritoneal dialysis involves placing a peritoneal dialysis tube into the body’s abdominal cavity to exchange toxins and fluids through the body’s peritoneum and greater omentum. There are no obvious advantages or disadvantages to these two types of dialysis, and the choice is mainly based on individual circumstances. In addition to regular dialysis, regular oral medication is required to prevent kidney disease and dialysis-related complications during dialysis.
