The life expectancy of uremia four times a day peritoneal dialysis patients ranges from a few years to several decades, and is more related to the adequacy of dialysis and the number of complications.
Uremia is a common outcome of the continued progression of various chronic kidney diseases and requires renal replacement therapy. Peritoneal dialysis, as a form of renal replacement therapy, effectively extends the life span of uremic patients.
There are large individual differences in how long uremia can live on peritoneal dialysis four times a day. Generally speaking, patients with good dialysis adequacy and few complications can live up to several decades; patients with poor dialysis adequacy and many complications have a poorer prognosis and may live only a few years.
Patients with uremia on abdominal dialysis should visit the hospital regularly, have regular reviews, and be treated under the guidance of their dialysis physician.
