Can People with Renal Failure Survive without Dialysis

People with renal failure must be very familiar with dialysis, because dialysis is an effective treatment to maintain their basic life. However, faced with complications of long-term dialysis, most of them want to know “can people with renal failure survive without dialysis”.

People with renal failure usually have lost large part or nearly all of their kidney function. Dialysis is a kidney replacement therapy that can help these patients remove small molecular wastes including creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, excess fluid from the body so as to maintain their life. However, dialysis isn’t a kidney repairing therapy so that the damaged kidney function can’t get any improvement during the treatment, that is to say, the renal failure patients who haven’t take any other repairing treatment but try to stop dialysis only can live several days to several weeks after quiting dialysis. Remember that the more times you miss the dialysis, the more dangerous you are. Never adventure your life, because many kidney exerts are always here to give you biggest help.

The situation will be quite different, if you can take some effective treatments that are able to repair damaged kidney tissues and improve your kidney function. In renal failure, some kidney cells are just damaged slightly, some others are damaged a little severely, but a part of kidney cells are necrotic. We know all of kidney cells have some certain self-curative ability, so they can repair themselves, if the damage is slight. At present, what we can do is to repair the severely damaged kidney cells through increasing their self-curative ability, while the necrotic kidney cells can’t be alive again.

Don’t worry! Once the damaged kidney cells recover to work again, your kidney function will be improved largely. When your kidney function increase to above 15% and maintains stable, you can indeed survive without dialysis.

Never give up your treatment, even though you are going through dialysis for a period time. Believe that with the joint effort of you and doctor, you can regain a brand new life.
