Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Life expectancy of every patient differs with the ability of the body to compensate for the kidney failure. The important point is serum creatinine levels which should not rise too quickly and dialysis checks this. If your creatinine level is more than 5 then you have to go for regular dialysis.
