How long can someone who is 85 live with no kidney function?

It is difficult to determine an exact life expectancy as it varies depending on individual health, overall medical condition, and access to treatment such as dialysis or kidney transplantation. However, without any kidney function, a person would typically require dialysis or kidney transplantation to survive. Without treatment, the person's health would likely decline rapidly over a period of weeks to months. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a more individualized assessment.

What if the kidney transplantation is not working?

You can possibly die because your body can not flush out all the waste and urine. Alternate answer: If a kidney transplant fails the patient does have other options but action should probably be taken as quickly as possible. The failure of a kidney transplant means that the patient will either have to have another transplant or they will have to go back on dialysis until something else can be done. People can live normally with only one kidney.

I think you mean Dialysis. Dialysis filters blood in your kidney for you when you go under kidney work or your kidneys doesn't function like its suppose to. You usually can live off of one kidney, but if your last kidney goes out(Kidney Failure) then they can you up to a dialysis machine and filter your kidneys for you. Hope this helps =]

How long can a patient live without kidney dialysis?

With Dialysis a patient can live for few to several years but with very strict diet & some physical problems and the risk of developing the disease called "Anemia".Dialysis is an imperfect treatment due to which patient may develop Anemia.Thus, a patient undergoing the treatment of Dialysis, is likely to develop the disease called "Anemia". Due to Anemia, a patient feels weakness and he/she needs new blood every time over a certain period of time.99.99 % of the people don't know that renal (kidney) failure can be cured. We are curing patients with kidney failure since few years & getting tremendous results.Most of the people opt for Dialysis treatment and think that it is the only hope for their survival. In fact, they don't know that:Dialysis is an imperfect treatment to replace kidney function because it does not correct the endocrine functions of the kidney. Dialysis treatments replace some of these functions through diffusion (waste removal) and ultra filtration (fluid removal).The kidneys also function as a part of the endocrine system producing erythropoietin and calcitriol. Erythropoietin is involved in the production of RBC (red blood cells) and calcitriol plays a role in bone formation.When kidneys starts malfunctioning, there can be seen significant increase in the "Serum Creatinine" & "BUN" (Blood urea nitrogen) levels. These elevated figures indicates the decreased functioning or failure of kidneys. Generally, if the serum Creatinine goes beyond the level of approx. 5-7 mg/dl, the patient is recommended to go for Dialysis.We have developed a natural/ayurvedic medicine, that again brings down the kidneys to their normal functioning. Yes, I am saying that, Failed Kidneys will start working again after the completion of our treatment. The "Serum Creatinine" & "BUN" levels will be normal again with the help of our medicine, which indicates the proper functioning of the Kidneys. The patient will no longer be dependent on Dialysis. After the completion of the treatment, patient won't need our medicine anymore & will be free from Dialysis & will continue a new and healthy life .


How efficient is a kidney dialysis machine in comparison to a healthy kidney?

Depends which machine, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis machine. Both are efficient and u can live long, but definitely not as much as you could with a healthy kidney. Dialysis machines purify you're blood but they don't purify it always well enough and they purify blood elements that they should not purify also. So its best to be healthy :)
