How long can chronic renal failure live is related to the stage of chronic kidney disease, which should be analyzed specifically and not be generalized. Chronic renal failure stage I-IV control blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipids, while protecting kidney function through Chinese medicine treatment, if kidney function remains stable for a long time, it has little impact on life expectancy. While the uremic phase requires renal replacement therapy such as hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, the survival period varies from 3-5 years or even a dozen years, and kidney transplant patients can significantly extend patients’ life expectancy by about 10 years. Chronic renal failure requires active identification of the cause of the disease and oral treatment with Chinese medicine, such as Bailing Capsules and Urotoxic Granules, which are effective. In addition to drug treatment, chronic renal failure should be treated with low salt and low fat diet, high quality and low protein to reduce the burden on the kidneys, improve the quality of life, develop good habits and actively cooperate with doctors.
