Without life-sustaining dialysis or a kidney transplant, once a person with kidney disease reaches Stage 5 (end stage renal disease (ESRD)), toxins build up in the body and death usually comes within a few weeks. The decision to stop treatment should be an informed and voluntary choice.
According to the report, the severe symptoms may kill CKD patients before the Kidney Damage itself. Your treatment choice is another factor which can change how long you live with CKD stage 5. Dialysis is a suggested solution for the condition of severe damage to kidneys. If you stop dialysis, your possible lifespan may range from several weeks to years, due to your own conditions.
