Dialysis for uremia caused by diabetic nephropathy can last from months to decades and decades. How long the life span will last is also determined by the patient’s physical condition, the severity of the disease and the presence of complications.
1. If patients with diabetic nephropathy are young, in good condition, with no obvious complications, and dialysis treatment is effective, patients can survive for a longer period of time, and may survive for decades.
2. If patients with diabetic uremic nephropathy are older and accompanied by other chronic diseases such as hypertension and heart disease, these will affect the effectiveness of treatment. If the disease control is not stable, it may only last for a few months or so.
Patients with diabetic nephropathy are advised to make sure that they go to the hospital as early as possible for professional treatment under the guidance of a specialist to avoid adverse consequences.
