Question:

Answers:
It can very widely. I have seen people last 2 months and 20 years or more. Diet and drug taken can also affect the heath of a renal patient. Often the complications from dialyisis like infection of the blood can be set backs. The stage of the kidney failure also may affect this

Other Answers:
You need to get on a kidney transplant list if that is your situation. After a transplant you have 10 years at pleast. Without a trans plant less.

A dialysis patient can live as long as 20 years. Not all dialysis patients are candidates for transplant. The cause of the kidney failure is a major factor since whatever caused the first kidney failure might also get the transplant. The number one reason for dialysis is diabetes.
