Experience with 37 patients surviving 10 years of hemodialysis therapy was reviewed. These patients were compared with 103 patients who began hemodialysis between 1967 and 1971 and who subsequently died. Males had an excess risk of death. Patients with polycystic kidneys survived longer. There was more uncontrolled hypertension among a control group than in 10-year survivors. In survivors, the hematocrit level increased over time and averaged 30.4 percent at 10 years. Over 10 years, many complications arose including parathyroidectomy (24), pericarditis (13), gastrointestinal bleeding (11), myocardial infarction (10), septicemia (eight), and active tuberculosis (six). Despite complications, most patients are now stable. Between their eighth and 10th years they required an average of only one hospitalization with a mean stay of 9.7 days. Eighteen patients were not hospitalized. Excluding housewives, 67 percent of patients between ages 20 and 59 years are employed full-time and 10 percent part-time. Patients surviving 10 years are not progressively deteriorating and may look to the future with cautious optimism.
