Kidney failure, stage 5, usually affects a patient’s life expectancy. For patients without serious complications, the life expectancy is probably between several years to several decades; patients with serious complications may die at any time.
1. Uncomplicated: If there is no combination of diabetes mellitus, cerebral infarction, and coronary heart disease and other major diseases, and if the patient actively receives effective treatment (such as maintenance hemodialysis, lowering blood pressure, lowering glucose, correcting anemia, and adjusting calcium-phosphorus disorders), he or she can usually survive for several years to decades.
2. Uremia combined with serious complications: for example, the combination of cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease and diabetes and other serious diseases, will lead to a significant reduction in the life expectancy of patients. Once the patient does not receive regular and adequate dialysis treatment in time, it will cause acute heart failure and severe hyperkalemia and other complications, inducing fatal cardiac arrhythmia or severe acidosis, which will lead to death at any time.
Patients with renal failure stage 5 need to go to regular hospitals in time and receive treatment actively to avoid causing serious complications and delaying the condition.
