What is the life expectancy of a 25 year old female with End Stage Renal Disease Stage 5?

Answer 1

This is a very hard question to answer because noone is God and can actually tell us when we are going to die. However, I have just gone through this with my husband. He was diagnosed with kidney disease in Aug. 2007 due to excessively high untreatable blood pressure. In May 2008 I had to take him to the hospital ER and he was transferred to a larger city with better equiptment. He was in full kidney failure and congestive heart failure. He stayed in the hospital for close to a month; most of that in ICU. From there he was transferred to a nursing home due to the fact we had been evicted during his hospital stay. He was getting the dialysis where he goes to a clinic three times a week for four hour sessions. He passed away on Sept. 1 2009. I have known of people with kidney failure living 7+ years. It all depends on the person and what all they have wrong with them. Some people are able to go back to work and others have a rougher time. I wish you the very best and just want you to know that if you are just beginning treatments of dialysis; you do have a rough road ahead. But don't give up. Stay strong and lean on your friends and family for support. God Bless you.

Answer 2

Life expectancy of such patient is much beyond your expectation. Contributor was called in to see the terminally ill patient of cancer to see whether the patient is dead or alive. Patient was alive. Then again in the evening, contributor was called in to see whether the patient was dead. He was still alive. The same story continued for ten days and the patient was alive. Relatives got embarrassed and stopped calling the contributor. The patient died after five more days. In this case the family was very poor and contributor said that he will be responsible to God for not treating the patient by giving any IV fluids.
