If someone needs dialysis, why can’t they live the rest of their lives on dialysis if it filters the blood?

Question

I feel like it would clear the waste and everything else so why do people still die even if the dialysis is taking over the function of the kidneys or anything else?

Don’t you run out of veins eventually? The same way drug addicts will end up injecting things into their hands and feet, you can only use veins a certain number of times.
