How long can you live with hemodialysis

Many people who suffer from some difficult-to-treat diseases often undergo hemodialysis regularly in order to maintain a healthy state. Hemodialysis can effectively alleviate the disease, but hemodialysis uses one's own blood for dialysis, so it is prone to many unexpected situations. Many patients are very worried about their life conditions. So how long can they live on hemodialysis?

First, how long can you live on hemodialysis? If you want to know the answer to how long you can live on hemodialysis, you must be able to understand the specific knowledge of hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is one of the traditional methods for treating uremia and is also the main method for treating uremia currently. It is called an "artificial kidney". It mainly uses an artificial dialysis machine to drain the patient's blood into the dialyzer, which is repeatedly washed and filtered for 5-6 hours to remove toxins from the blood before being injected into the body.

Second, hemodialysis must be performed in a regular hospital. Therefore, it is recommended that people who need hemodialysis must carefully choose a hospital beforehand. Having a regular doctor to assist in the treatment can achieve good results and avoid operational errors, allowing them to live longer. Patients should also have confidence in treating their diseases in their daily lives and face the disease with a positive attitude.

Third, it is not a problem for patients with uremia to live for more than ten years on hemodialysis, but patients can try traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods to prolong the dialysis time, which will improve the quality of life of patients.

How long can a person live after doing hemodialysis? As for how long a person can live after doing hemodialysis, it varies from person to person. Some patients absorb the food better, so it is not a problem for them to live four or five years after doing hemodialysis. Some patients may be physically weaker, and cannot absorb the food well after doing hemodialysis, resulting in rejection, etc., which may put their lives in danger at any time. However, we must remind everyone that hemodialysis is only one of the ways to treat uremia. It does not mean that hemodialysis can definitely cure the problem of uremia.
