Long-term haemodialysis survival

Haemodialysis (HD) treatment for end-stage renal disease bears a poor prognosis. We present a case of a patient who, apart from two transplant periods lasting 8 months in all, was treated with conventional in-centre HD three times a week and who survived for 41 years.

Patients should be aware that there is no theoretical upper limit for patient survival on HD.
