JAKARTA - Dialysis is an important treatment procedure for people with kidney failure. This procedure is useful for screening and removing toxins and from the body, because the kidneys are no longer able to do it well.

Quoting from Medical News Today, on Friday, October 10, 2025, people with kidney failure to do dialysis can help prolong their life expectancy. However, dialysis also triggers physical and emotional burdens, which can make patients feel mentally exhausted and want to stop doing so.

However, the decision not to dialysis has serious consequences for health and quality of life. Here are some side effects that will be experienced by kidney sufferers who do not do dialysis.

1. Decreased life expectancy

Stop dialysis can affect the time a person with kidney failure survives. The length of time to survive without dialysis varies, depending on the severity of kidney disease and the overall health condition of the patient.

There are patients who only last a few days, while others can last a few weeks without treatment.

2. Easy to get tired

Without dialysis, the toxins and fluids that should be filtered by the kidneys will accumulate in the body. This causes the body to become easily tired and unpowered.

3. Difficult to breathe

The buildup of fluids in the body can also cause shortness of breath due to fluids that accumulate in the lungs or other body tissues. This condition will also get worse if the patient eats unhealthy, such as excessive consumption of salt.

4. The occurrence of uremia

Uremia is a dangerous condition that occurs when the kidneys fail to filter waste from the blood effectively. This causes the poison to accumulate and causes various symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea.

Disorders of awareness can also occur, such as confusion, seizures, and even coma. This condition indicates that kidney failure is very serious and requires immediate treatment.
