Hemodialysis? |
ok i am looking for info on hemodialysis. a family friend it on it and we are trying to figure out how long a person with live on it. he has diabetes. he has also has a triple heart bypass before. he has ulcerator soars on his legs that are oozing. he just has one kidney. if you can tell me how long he might have. or a good website where i can find out please let me know. this his three time on this. what i am looking for is a guess on how long he might live. There is no set time frame for how long one can live on dialysis. I used to care for young adults who were on it for years with few problems. Because your friend has so many medical problems, his chances of dying sooner are much higher. It sounds as though he has a compromised heart, his venous circulation is very poor. That makes his chances of stroke higher than the average person. His diabetes also puts him at a high risk for complications. I wonder how his vision is; hard to believe it's very good. He could very well do ok on the dialysis, but succumb to complications from one of his other health problems. He has a lot going against him, I'm sorry to say. Wish I could make a guess on how long he might live, but it's impossible to say. I'm sorry. Report It Every person is different. Some people can live for many years on hemodialysis, others will last only a few weeks or days. It depends on the other medical conditions he has and their severity. |
