A member asked:
What amount time left to someone with chronic kidney disease if this someone is at stage 5 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time before dialysis: It is very difficult to answer your question. That is because all kidney disease is different. If one has polycystic kidney disease, that acts differently from diabetic kidney disease. The time for end stage renal disease is also dependent on the age of the patient. Have the person ask a nephrologist for a more detailed and meaningful answer to your question.
