Nowadays, because of a lot of bad habits, many people get uremia. I think all of you know the dangers and the severity of uremia. It is one of diseases that are difficult to treat. Therefore, when you are diagnosed with uremia, you may have an unprecedented fear. Dialysis is a common way to treat ESRD. Not a few patients asked such a question: How long can ESRD patients live on dialysis? In the following, let’s have a discussion on detail.

1. Early symptoms of uremia are not easy to be detected. In the later stage, symptoms can spread to all organs, which are extremely serious. At that time, you may have heart failure, mental abnormality, coma and other serious conditions to threaten life.

2. If you have been on dialysis for over 5 years or your kidneys have been fibrosis completely, it is impossible to treat with conservative treatment. In the rest of life, you have to live on dialysis to maintain your life. But do not lose hope for life. Some people can live over 20 years with simply dialysis. But you have to bear the huge cost of dialysis. In such a case, an insurance can do you a favor.
