A member asked:
When someone has end stage renal failure, how long can they typically be expected to live if they do not get dialysis or transplant? 92 y/o with chf.

Not options: Hemodialysis & transplant are not options in a 92 yo. Hospice planning is likely the best & most reasonable option for the patient & loved ones. Sorry.

Hard to do: CHF and impaired renal function are difficult to deal with, because improving one makes the other worse. It is a fine line between reducing fluid to help the heart failure, but keeping enough to keep the kidney function from getting worse. Dialysis may be the best answer. See his nephrologist for an answer.
