How long can I live with stage 4 kidney failure with no dialysis? This should be a common question for all the kidney failure patients. As we know, kidney failure is a progressive kidney disease with gradually reduced kidney function, and patients will finally develop into end stage kidney failure. Then patients may need to live depending on dialysis or kidney transplant.

What does stage 4 kidney failure mean for patients?

Stage 4 kidney failure refers to severe kidney damage in patients, and the GFR is between 15-29 ml/min. In this condition, patients will have some severe symptoms such as protein in urine, blood in urine, swelling, loss of appetite, back pain, high blood pressure, anemia, etc. If patients don’t have effective treatment, they will quickly develop into end stage kidney failure. When their GFR level is less than 15, or there creatinine level is higher than 5 mg/dl, patients may need to have dialysis.

Then how long can I live with stage 4 kidney failure with no dialysis?

Dialysis is a replacement treatment for kidney failure patients when their kidneys lost most of their kidney function, since dialysis can help remove the harmful substances and excess fluid out, so it can help prolong the life expectancy. However, the long time dialysis will cause some severe symptoms and complications.

For stage 4 kidney failure patients, their kidney function is more than 15, so they don’t need to start dialysis if they don’t have the severe symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, skin itching, severe swelling, high blood pressure, etc. In this condition, if they have effective treatment to improve their kidney function, they can live a long time without dialysis.
