A member asked:

How long can one live with out dialysis who is esrd and has chf at the age of 46?

Dr. Thomas Heston answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Not long: End stage renal disease indicates the absolute need for dialysis or kidney transplant. So for true esrd without dialysis or transplant death would come very quickly, especially because of associated heart failure, maybe days to weeks.

Dr Naguib and another doctor agreed
