My brother recently died, he was too weak to continue on dialysis and died 1 1/2 days of stopping dialysis, I was told by the hospice Doctor that depending on your kidney damage it could be 2 day to two weeks, I want to add I really miss by dear brother
5 years i think
one to two weeks
A person without kidneys that is not on dialysis may only live from a few days to several weeks before dying.
Without dialysis or a kidney transplant, a person may only survive a few days to a week once their kidneys completely fail. However, with proper medical intervention, dialysis, or a transplant, life can be prolonged significantly.
There is no limit, many can live with dialysis the majority of their life.
If you are on dialysis, no you can not stop kidney dialysis. Dialysis is what cleans all the toxins from your blood. If you were to stop dialysis you will build up all the toxins. And will start feeling really awful. You might end up getting a heart attack, stroke, or just die.
Yes

The chances of failed kidneys recovering enough to stop dialysis depend on the underlying cause of kidney failure and the extent of damage to the kidneys. In some cases, acute kidney injury may improve with treatment, allowing the kidneys to recover and resume functioning. However, in chronic kidney disease, the chances of complete recovery are lower, and long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant may be needed.
Dialysis is not a permanent solution - the worse the kidney function becomes, the more dialysis is needed, until you're at at a stage where you're in hospital on dialysis full time (which is obviously not a life). Transplants are a more long term solution.
Yes, but don't count on it. Maybe surprised, but can be.
as long as you live i think...
