How long renal failure can live depends on the condition and the severity of the complications, and cannot be generalized. If the patient has renal failure caused by benign small artery nephrosclerosis or interstitial nephritis, the patient will have a longer survival period, which may be 10-20 years from renal failure to dialysis, and the average life expectancy of the patient after dialysis is about 10 years. If the patient has diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis, multiple myeloma nephropathy, etc., because the primary disease can lead to systemic multi-organ system involvement, so the patient may enter the dialysis stage more quickly, and the patient’s survival period is relatively shortened, and there are no relevant statistics on the specific number of years. If patients have cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, coronary artery disease, retinopathy, arterial ischemia of the extremities, etc., it will lead to patients’ possible death at any time. Patients after renal failure should strictly control the underlying disease, and should follow the medical advice to take regular medication treatment and light diet. Early Chinese medicine interventions for chronic renal failure can significantly slow down the progression of the disease.
