How long to live if you do not do dialysis with stage 5 kidney failure? Dialysis is a life-sustaining method. However, some patients may do not take dialysis 
so they wonder how long they can live without dialysis.
Given the small amount of data, there are not easy questions to answer. But we do have more data available about lifespan in patients who do opt for dialysis. Expected survival for patients on dialysis could vary from 8 years (for patients aged 40 to 44) to 4.5 years (Patients between 60 to 64 years old). However, this is the average, with wide fluctuations seen depending on the patient’s age, nutritional status and presence of other co-existing disease conditions like ischemic heart disease, and cancer, etc. A study on patients with stage 5 kidney disease who were at least 80 years of age reported a median lifespan that was 20 months longer in patients choosing dialysis.
For patients who do not opt for dialysis, they can choose Toxin-Removing Treatment to prolong their lifespan. Toxin-Removing Treatment is a characteristic Chinese medicine therapy in our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. This therapy is on the basis of TCM so it includes many natural Chinese medicine therapies such as Medicated Foot Bath, Medicated Bath, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Moxibustion Therapy, Medicinal Soup and Steaming Therapy, etc. Chinese medicines can remove toxins and wastes from your blood and also your renal cells. In this way, it can supply a clean blood environment for repairing injured kidney tissues and improving renal function gradually. After blood is purified, Chinese medicines can expand blood vessels, improve blood circulation, prevent inflammation and coagulation, degrade extracellular matrix and provide nutrients. These functions can alleviate renal ischemia-anoxia state, stimulate the self-healing ability of injured kidney tissues and improve renal function gradually. You can live a longer life with Toxin-Removing Treatment for stage 5 kidney failure.
