A member asked:
For what length of time can a person live with stage 5 kidney failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many factors here!: Chronic kidney disease stage 5 - also called end stage renal failure - must be treated, or a person will die within a week or two. Treatments include kidney transplant and dialysis. There are two basic forms of dialysis (hemodialysis or kidney machine, & peritoneal dialysis). Longevity depends on one's overall condition. Read the book, "help - i need dialysis!" by agar & schatell.
