Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist and transplant surgeon, I can understand your anxiety.It's difficult to accurately predict, the life span for any person on dialysis. But the risk factors like smoking, B.P., and lack of exercise are not very healthy, for a longer survival, with a good quality of life. The life expectancy in an otherwise healthy graft, would've been about 10-15 years, without any risk factors. You can certainly consider a second transplant, from a related donor, if possible, with a good HLA match.
