Approximate life expectancy after stopping dialysis for kidney failure

The life expectancy after stopping dialysis for renal failure is related to factors such as the cause and condition of the disease. In case of acute renal failure, after correcting reversible factors, stopping dialysis usually does not affect the life expectancy; in case of chronic renal failure, complications such as hyperkalemia and heart failure may occur after stopping dialysis, which may affect the life expectancy of the patients, and the exact time cannot be generalized.
Dialysis treatment can replace the kidneys to excrete metabolic waste and water, and regulate electrolyte disorders. If patients with acute renal failure correct reversible factors, renal function may gradually recover, and life expectancy is usually not affected after stopping dialysis.
If patients with chronic renal failure stop dialysis treatment, metabolic products and water accumulation in the body, may appear hyperkalemia, acute heart failure and other complications, can be life-threatening, at this time will affect the life expectancy, the specific survival time can not be generalized.
Patients with renal failure are advised to go to regular hospitals in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
