How long does renal insufficiency last

summary

The kidney is one of the important organs of human body. If there is a problem with the kidney, it will seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Because of the lack of scientific understanding of renal insufficiency, how long can some patients survive after suffering from renal insufficiency? Now let's have a chat.

How long does renal insufficiency last

First, patients who have entered the stage of renal insufficiency are equivalent to entering the terminal stage of chronic kidney disease. For patients who have already suffered from renal insufficiency, there is no good limit on how long they can live. If the patient is in the early stage of renal insufficiency and the creatinine level is not very high, it is possible for him to survive for a long time.

Second, renal function has a greater ability to adapt to the damage of the disease, which is often called compensatory ability. That is to say, when the kidney is only partially damaged or slightly damaged, the kidney itself can completely regulate itself, and the patient has no manifestation of renal failure. However, there is a certain limit to this compensation. If it exceeds the tolerance of the kidney, the kidney will be damaged.

Third: if patients with renal insufficiency do not progress to uremia, there is still a lot of room for improvement. The time to uremia is generally 5-10 years, and dialysis after uremia can last up to 5-10 years.
