For patients with diabetes and kidney failure, what is the life expectancy?
Most
patients are concerned the answer to this question, this article can be
some of help for you.
Here is a reply for a girl by experts in Shijiazhuang kidney disease hospital, whose grandmother suffers from diabetes and kidney failure and
supports her life by dialysis. Hope they can some of help for the same
cases.
Let me give it to you straight. If she started dialysis today, on average,
she would live 3-5 more years. The annual mortality rate for End Stage Renal
Disease patients is 22%. That means that the average ESRD patient will live for
just under 5 years on dialysis. Diabetes raises that mortality rate about 3% for
a total of 25%. I'm not sure off the top of my head the numbers for CHF, but it
is about another 5-10% increase in mortality rate, as the number one cause of
death in ESRD patients is heart failure.What Fruit Can Eat with Diabetes Type 2 and Kidney Failure Excessive Sweating and Kidney Function 31% with Diabetes
The way she will die is, since her kidneys cannot filter out the potassium
she consumes fast enough, it will cause her heart to beat irregularly. If she
has lost the ability to produce urine, her vascular will become
flooded with fluid and her heart won't be able to keep up with the increased
volume. That increased volume will also collect in her lungs making it difficult
to breath, depriving her heart and brain of oxygen. Her kidneys cannot filter
out the urea her body produces, which will result in toxemia, rapidly damaging
her heart, brain, and other vital organs. If she lives long enough, the
phosphorus that her kidneys can't filter out, will absorb into her aorta, and
causing it to calcify and harden, making it harder for the heart to supply
itself with oxygen.

When you combine all these things there is little chance that your
grandmother can survive very long (weeks at best) without dialysis. The sooner
the decision is made, the less long-term damage will be done to her.
Dialysis is a life-changing choice - it can save her life, but in return it
will be a life quite different from what she is used to. There will be dietary
and fluid restrictions, more medications to take, dialysis every other day.
