How Long can Stage 5 Kidney Failure Patients Survive

How long can Stage 5 Kidney Failure patients survive? This is a question frequently asked by patients. In fact, there is not an exact answer to the question. The life expectancy of patients with stage 5 Kidney Failure mainly relies on the treatment method they choose.
Dialysis and kidney transplant are the major replacement therapies for the patients with stage 5 Kidney Failure. It can not be denied that these two therapies can relieve the symptoms and improve the life quality enormously.
However, dialysis can only take over a part of native renal function and a part of metabolic toxins still remain in blood which can cause renal function to decline further. Also dialysis can cause a series of serious complications like heart failure, infection etc which can threaten the patients seriously and affect their life expectancy. In rare case, the patients may survive above 10 years and even longer.
As for kidney transplant, some researches show that the survival of transplanted kidneys in 10 years is just 10%. In most cases of kidney transplant, the kidneys will decline again in several years. What's worse, they have to deal with the rejection reactions and complications after kidney transplant. These will of course affect their life expectancy.
Therefore, dialysis and kidney transplant is not a perfect treatment method for the patients with stage 5 Kidney Failure in extending life expectancy.
To extend the patients' life expectancy, it is extremely essential to improve the function of the native kidneys. Of course, it is impossible to recover the renal function normally completely. However, if the renal function improves to 15% along with controlling the complications of Kidney Failure, they will be able to get rid of the chance of dialysis and avoiding kidney transplant. The native kidneys will be able to filter blood discharge metabolic products to maintain the normal physiological activities. In this way, the patients' life expectancy will be extended greatly.
