A member asked:
What is the life expectancy for a person with stage 4 renal falure and 1 kidney with no dialysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: The answer to this question really depends on how well the illness is managed and the rate of decline of the kidney function. Some patients may decline to end stage kidney failure in a year while some may take several years.
