May be forever...: Most dialyzed patients are for ended stage of chronic failure by various reasons; if so, he would need dialysis forever until renal transplant if clinically, ethically, and socially suitable. Occasionally, the renal failure requiring dialysis may be acute and usually related with identifiable surgical or medical ordeals. So, ask treating doc in detail. Nonetheless, practice healthy lifestyle..
