It can be common to happen for patients on dialysis or who haven’t begin dialysis to reject dialysis. In this case, you should understand him as family or friend, and communicate with him in detail with sincerity. And if he is very determined to reject dialysis, so be it. After all, he has his own reasons and right to choose his life.

When dialysis is needed for patients with kidney failure, kidney function is always left very little, about less than 15% in general. And kidney can not remove large amount of wastes and fluids from body. So, if dialysis is not used to help filter the blood to eliminate wastes, symptoms and complications can happen very seriously, especially heart disease, cardiovascular problems which are life threatening. For end stage kidney failure patients, death comes mostly because these severe complications occur on them.

Thus, if patients do not accept dialysis, or they are tired of dialysis and think it can not help them alleviate disease very much, they will want to stop dialysis. In this case, patients can live for several weeks or two months at most, but it mostly depends on specific conditions of patients. Because symptoms or complications are becoming more and more serious without dialysis, so death will come very soon.

If he has the thought of giving up dialysis, we should talk with him and understand him well. If he has made his decision, respect his choice. In China, Chinese medicine is widely used to treat kidney disease by improving kidney function. Dialysis patients can use Chinese medicine to improve kidney function, in this way, dialysis can be declined by kidney function reviving gradually with Chinese medicine. Good effects can be achieved finally.
