Life on dialysis

What is the record for longest duration for which a person has survived on dialysis?

Hi my husband has been on dialysis for over 4 years with a central line. His doctor says you can be on dialysis indefinitely, which is good as my husband has already had two transplants over many years and is no longer eligible for another transplant, his body just could not take another surgery like that and be successful. So, he will be in dialysis for the rest of his life or until they develop something new. He is in a wheelchair and we just purchased a used wheelchair van, so now he is back to driving himself to dialysis, and elsewhere. He lives a vibrant life, and although medically retired for many years now, he stays busy with photography, and is designing a new product he wants to try to sell to ice cream shops. It’s all good! I wish you the best of luck!
