If the injury is acute, many kidney tubular injuries can be fully recovered and do not affect the patient’s life expectancy. If it is a chronic injury, you may be able to live about 20 years. If the patient is not careful with medication, a large number of nephrotoxic drugs are applied in a short period of time, such as anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, or gentamicin-type antibiotics, or rhabdomyolysis due to the patient’s strenuous exercise, these can lead to acute renal tubular injury. After the treatment of this disease such as symptomatic treatment and maintaining the stability of the body’s internal environment, the possibility of complete recovery of the renal tubules is very high and usually does not affect the life expectancy of the patient. If the patient has been taking pain-relieving drugs or certain Chinese medicines, such as aristolochic acid, for a long time, or has high blood pressure, and the blood pressure is not well controlled for a long time, all these conditions will lead to chronic damage to the renal tubules, and finally develop into renal failure. It takes about 10 years from the time of tubular injury to the development of uremia, and about 10 years from the start of hemodialysis to death, adding up to a total of about 20 years. Therefore, when assessing how many years you can live after renal tubular injury, it is important to clarify whether it is acute or chronic.
