How long can a person live with kidney failure and no treatment? As we know, kidney failure means the gradually reduced kidney function, and it is a progressive disease. If people don’t have treatment to remedy the disease, the kidney failure will develop quickly, and people will be in a severe condition. So treatment is so important for kidney failure patients.

There is no specific time to tell kidney failure patients that how long they can live without treatment. Because the illness condition will be different from case to case, so the certain time will also be different. There are some factors that will affect the time of kidney failure patients if they don’t have treatment.

1. Age

For kidney failure patients, if they are in an old age, they may have some other diseases such as cardiovascular disease, bone disease, heart disease, etc, all these will affect the prognosis of them.

2. Healthy diet

If kidney failure patients take a kidney-friendly diet, they may live a long life. Because the well planed diet can help reduce the kidney burden and protect the kidney function. So a strict diet will also be good for the prognosis for kidney failure patients.

3. Symptoms and complications

For kidney failure patients, if they don’t have some severe symptoms and complications, such as nausea, vomiting, skin itching, swelling, high blood pressure, they may have a good prognosis. However, if they have these symptoms, and they don’t have treatment, it will increase the progression of kidney failure, then people will have a bad prognosis.

From above, we can know that the prognosis for kidney failure patents is affected by many factors. But the most important thing is treatment.
