dialysis doses what the kidneys do. That is cleanse the blood. Without it you would have toxins circulating in your system - Not good. If you've been on it for 12 yrs and feel ok that's good. The only other option is kidney transplant and that is not 100 % guaranteed. So really if it were me and the dialysis has been good for 12yrs I wouldnt be nervous at all. Good luck!

Well the risks include infection and bleeding during the dialysis access placement (either catheter or fistula surgery). These are relatively small.  Dialysis in general is quite safe.  There are many risks of long term dilysis to talk with your dad's doctor about, but the bottom line is you can't live without it, so whatever the risks, the benefits outweigh them.  Only other option for your dad is kidney transplant. Did you discuss this with your nephrologist? Good luck.

They  say  the  average  life  span  4   some one  on  dialysis  is  about 10  years. BUT  theres  a  age  factor  here and  a health  factor  here  as well.  BEST  ask  your  DR  he  KNOWS  her  health  history+ age.  I wish  you  all  lifes best.(prayer  helps  too)

I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS BUT DIALYSIS IS NOT A CURE FOR KIDNEY FAILURE.IT IS A TREATMENT DONE TO KEEP KIDNEY PATIENTS ALIVE AND AS HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE IF PATIENT FOLLOWS DOCTORS ORDERS.I WORK IN THIS FIELD SO I KNOW WHAT HE HAS TO DEAL WITH.LET ME ASK YOU THIS,WHAT DOES HIS DOCTOR SAY ABOUT A POSSIBILITY OF HIS KIDNEY FUNCTION RETURNING?IF HIS ANSWER IS NO POSSIBILITY, THEN DIALYSIS IS THE ONLY ANSWER IF HE WANTS TO STAY ALIVE.I AM SORRY TO BE SO BLUNT BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH.I CAN'T SAY I KNOW WHAT HE IS GOING THROUGH, BUT I SEE WHAT MY PATIENTS GO THROUGH AND I KNOW IT MUST BE REALLY HARD FOR THEM.LIKE I SAID THOUGH,IT IS BETTER THAN THAN DYING.

Having been a child of renal problems and a kidney transplant receiptant in my adult years, I would suggest that you contact the local chapter of the National Kidney Foundation in your area. They may be able to give you information about clinical trials and they may be able to get your son into a trial. \n\nYou can find your local office of the National Kidney Foundation by going to http://www.kidney.org/ and clicking on the Find local offices and events link in the upper right hand corner. I wish you and your son the best of luck.

I'm in North Carolina, United States.  I am 38 years old.  In 2004, I got blisters on my feet from participating with my class in the annual field day.  The blisters got all infected and resulted in an amputation and a really nasty blood infection which zapped my kidneys.  I've been on dialysis ever since.\n\nI tried to teach while on dialysis, but I just didn't have the stamina to keep up with 19 first graders.  I love them dearly and I want them to have the best.  So, I've gone on medical leave and will resign at the end of the year.  It's so sad because I loved it and I was very, very successful.\n\nWhat am I doing now?  I'm going to school to become a Certified Internet Web Designer. I think I might design some educational sites for children.

Generally home dialysis is the only way to receive a high dose of dialysis - PD or Hemo. Check out:\nhttp://www.homedialysis.org\nespecially the forums:\nhttp://forums.homedialysis.org/

A patient with that amount of kidney function loss would no doubt already be under the care of a nephrologist (kidney specialist) I think this question seems a little odd since I would have to wonder without medical specialty care how on earth  she A) knows she has only 1/3 of 1 kidney functioning and B) how does she know she has tumors. It is common for diabetics to be on dialysis and this person would undoubtedly be on dialysis again prescribed by a physician at some level. Are you sure you really have all the facts here?
