How long do uremic patients live

The survival time of uremic patients is related to the condition, treatment effect and other factors, and cannot be generalized. If active treatment, without electrolyte disorders, cardiovascular disease, etc., may prolong their survival time; if the patient’s condition is more serious, hyperkalemia, acute heart failure and other complications, if the treatment effect is poor or untimely treatment, may be short-term life-threatening.
Uremia is the end stage of various chronic kidney diseases. At this time, the kidney function is basically lost, and the metabolic wastes and water in the body can not be discharged, thus causing a series of symptoms in the body.
If the patient is actively treated without electrolyte disorders such as metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, etc., or cardiovascular system manifestations such as heart failure, uremic cardiomyopathy, etc., it is possible to prolong their survival time, but the exact survival time varies from person to person. The 10-year survival rate after renal transplantation is about 60% if the patient is treated aggressively.
If patients develop serious electrolyte disorders such as hyperkalemia, or serious cardiovascular lesions such as acute left heart failure, their lives may be in danger for a short period of time if treatment is ineffective or untimely.
Patients with uremia are advised to go to regular hospitals for timely consultation and targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of doctors.
