A member asked:
For what length of time can a person live with 9% kidney funcation at stage 4 renal failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CKD stage 4?: If you have chronic kidney disease (ckd) stage 4, you do not yet need to be dialyzed. Ckd stage 4 is a GFR from15-30 ml/min. That level is higher than your 9% of kidney function. If you do have 9%, you are in need of dialysis and should discuss that with your nephrologist (n). If you are at stage 4 ckd, you have a GFR that is too high to be dialyzed.
