Nephrologist,  's  Response
kidney disease even if the function of kidney is lost 90% will not kill a person . Medicine has progressed and hemodialysis is an option having thrice weekly 4hr sessions will help him survive for years. Off course renal transplantation is definitely superior option provided renal donor is present.To initiate hemodialysis first an AV FISTULA ACCESS has to be created which becomes functional only after 6 weeks of creation.

so hemodialysis and renal transplantation are two options for your friend and he can live Definitely for years on either of the modalities.
