My uncle is 56 years old. Until now, he has undergoing dialysis for eight years, but his creatinine level is 7.9 and bun is 57. Now, he refuses to do further dialysis. We want to know how long does it to die after stopping dialysis?

How Long Does It to Die After Stopping Dialysis Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for kidney failure patients, because their kidneys can’t remove waste products and toxins from the body adequately. If your uncle stopped dialysis without other lifesaving treatment, death will come along within several days to several weeks. This time is decided by the amount of kidney function that your uncle has left and his overall medical condition.

Without dialysis, more and more waste products and toxins will build up in the body, causing a series of symptoms and complications, some of which are life-threatening. For example, heart failure is one common cause of death for people after stopping dialysis.

To stop dialysis, we should make a good preparation. Since low kidney function is the main factor that prevents patients from stopping dialysis, only if their kidney function is improved successfully can these patients stop dialysis safely.
