How long can you live with uremic heart failure?

The length of time a patient with uremic heart failure can live varies from person to person. For example, if the degree of heart failure is severe enough to reach NYHA class IV heart function, the patient will experience chest tightness and shortness of breath when he moves, so his survival time may be relatively short, and he may die within a year or even within a few months. If the degree of heart failure is mild and the patient can tolerate general activities, the patient with uremic heart failure may have a longer survival time. In addition, how long a patient lives with uremic heart failure is also related to what causes the heart failure, such as uremic patients themselves have underlying heart disease, such as severe cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, or the heart itself is relatively poor basic function of patients, may be relatively short survival time. If the cause of heart failure is water and sodium retention due to reduced urine output in uremia, after dialysis and enhanced ultrafiltration, the patient’s edema subsides and the heart load is reduced, the heart failure can be significantly corrected, so the heart failure patient may survive longer.
