Outcomes of Dialysis
Death rates in patients on chronic dialysis average 10 to 15 per cent per year but are quite variable. In recent years, the age of patients who are maintained on chronic dialysis has increased, as have the number and severity of coexisting illnesses. The major causes of mortality and morbidity are infections and cardiovascular events. Patients can be maintained on dialysis while awaiting renal transplantation, and patients who have undergone unsuccessful attempts at renal transplantation can be returned to chronic dialysis therapy.
