Is there any research being done on dialysis patients who are on dialysis over ten years?  I have not seen a lot of research done on patients who have longevity on dialysis.

Hi Kit what exactly are you looking for? The state of the persons? Complications? I would not like to give a wrong answer again cos I understand the question wrongly.

Love, Cas

Just looking to see if anyone out there is working with long term dialysis patients to see what types of things happen over time to them.
How does the body change?  Changes to their metabolism?  Over all considerations as the years pass by on dialysis?

My name is Bruce and I am the caregiver for my daughter Holly who is 31 years old and received her kidney transplant on December 22, 2016 :)
Holly's Facebook Kidney  page: https://www.facebook.com/Hollys.transplantpage/

Holly had a heart transplant at the age of 5 1/2 months in 1990. Heart is still doing GREAT!  :thumbup;
Holly was on hemodialysis for 2.5 years-We did NXStage home hemo from January 2016 to December 22, 2016
Holly's best Christmas ever occurred on December 22, 2016 when a compassionate family in their time of grief gave Holly the ultimate gift...a kidney!

Hello kitkatz,
There has been some research, but - to my knowledge - it is still very sketchy ... but, at the same time, more and more countries are now putting more and more money into research, as dialysis is one of the very costly health-treatments, with a steady increase of people being treated each year...
 By asking Mr. Google and doctors/nephrologists, it becomes evident, that an easy-digestible-vegetarian-diet is helping a lot to keep the body as calm as possible during the regular turmoil of dialysis-treatment. But - there again - we are all different and I can only speak for myself and what suits one person might not be so good for another person.
Best wishes from Kristina. :grouphug;
