A member asked:
Why do poeple on hemodialysis die waiting for a kidney?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
All sorts of reasons: Death can be due to all the reasons everyone dies from, such as heart attacks, strokes, pneumonias, cancers, car accidents, murders, suicides, etc..., as well as their kidney disease worsening to the point that their bodies start to fail them.

Lack of organs: People on dialysis need kidney transplants, but not enough kidneys are available for all the people who need those.
