How long can a person with liver cancer live once their kidneys are shut down?
People usually last around 3 days after the kidneys shutdown. An uncle of mine lasted for 5 [stroke]. My kidneys shutdown yesterday. I have been unable to eat any kind of food for the last 2 weeks, before the kidneys failed[liver cancer], and have only been able to drink water. I took DGL to reduce the GI pain. Once the kidneys stop working water will make you sick. I had a small 1 oz drink of water this morning, thinking it would be absorbed by the gut. I could tell that any more at that time would make me puke. Not a pleasant way to go..... Besides the kidney pain, plain water will feel like poison.
