A member asked:
My brother is having his"plug" pulled today. his kidneys have shut down how long before he passes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time of demise: If your brother has kidney failure he may survive up to a week without dialysis. He may pass due to high potassium levels or fluid overload. It is difficult for an outsider to answer your question in a meaningful manner. You should speak to his physicians, as they have more insight of his prognosis than anyone else.
