How long Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 4 can last varies from person to person, ranging from several months to several years, and should be actively prepared for renal replacement therapy.
Patients with chronic kidney disease stage 4 have severe decline in glomerular filtration and reabsorption, often accompanied by edema, anemia, hypertension, nausea and vomiting, taste of urine in the mouth and other symptoms, which can be exacerbated by infections, colds, diarrhea and so on, and enter into the uremia stage. Patients with chronic renal failure stage 4 should be prepared for renal replacement therapy, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation.
Generally speaking, patients with regular treatment and few complications have a longer maintenance time; patients with untimely treatment and many complications have a shorter maintenance time. Some patients can be maintained for several years by actively treating the underlying disease, controlling blood pressure, anemia, blood glucose, calcium and phosphorus within the target range, as well as exercising appropriately to enhance resistance and avoiding acute exacerbation of the cause of the disease.
Patients with chronic kidney disease stage 4 should go to the hospital in time and be treated under the guidance of professional physicians.
