  • So even a patient on last stage of kidney disease can live longer by doing haemodialisys?

  • Why does everyone spell haemodialysis incorrectly.

  • @GetAClueNow

    He/she probably had a transplant.

  • @BNNYWVH1

    Because it varies greatly depending on the patient. And that's assuming the patient is older, younger patients could last 40 years on dialysis.

  • PAINLESS? ROFL, it may be for some but you can experience tons of symptoms while your blood is being cleaned including SEVERE headaches or even just minor ones, Since your blood is being taken out of your body it goes back in cold (There are ways to fix this) but it can leave a patient FREEZING for an entire treatments. Not to mention the two needle sticks, although not to bad if done by the right person, needle sticks can damage your access if they infitrate the vessel wall or even destroy it.

    So what did you do to get away from end stage?
