How long can someone with uremia live?

Update Date: Source: Network

Uremia is the terminal stage of various kidney diseases, during which the patient's kidney function is severely impaired and cannot maintain normal metabolism. The lifespan of patients with uremia depends on a comprehensive assessment of factors such as the patient's condition and treatment status. Here are some considerations:

1. Condition: If the patient discovers uremia in the early stage and actively cooperates with the doctor for treatment, such as using medication to control blood pressure, blood sugar, and other indicators, as well as using hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and other methods to remove excess water and toxins from the body, it can generally effectively extend the survival time. However, if the patient does not seek timely treatment, it may lead to worsening of the condition and thus shorten the survival time.

2. Treatment Status: If the patient actively follows the doctor's advice for treatment after being diagnosed with uremia and maintains a good mindset, it can usually better control the progression of the disease and thus extend the survival time. However, if the patient does not actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, it may lead to further deterioration of the condition and even endanger life.

3. Other Factors: Uremia has many causes, commonly seen in diseases such as primary glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, there are differences in the prognosis of uremia patients caused by different causes. Some patients can achieve clinical cure after active treatment, and such patients may not affect their lifespan. However, some patients may die due to severe conditions or failure to seek timely treatment.

It is recommended that patients with uremia rest adequately in their daily lives, avoid overwork and staying up late. At the same time, they should also maintain a light diet and avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods.
