Unfortunately, my mother is having serious difficulties with her kidneys. She is 55 years old and doctor said that she will have to go for the dialysis from now on. I have to say that I was devastated when I heard that, somehow I always hoped for a miraculous recovery. Anyway, can you tell me how long can you go on a dialysis?
Are you asking for how long she will be able to live while under the dialysis treatment? Well, there are known cases that lived for more than 15 years. This means that if she attends the treatments regularly, her lifespan will be almost normal. Still, you will have to help her adjust to new life regime and give her your support. She could use some of it right now.
