What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Person With Kidney Failure?
My Mother is 93 and has kidney failure and is eating about 10% of her meal if that and her blood pressure is 96/51. She does drink some water and juice. How long can a person go on like this. She does talk and keeps her eyes closed most the time, cannot walk need help with everything. How much time are we looking at?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
In my opinion she is into her end stage as her blood pressure is very low and needs ionotropic support. Sorry to tell you but anything can happen anytime especially with increased age, low bp and kidney failure
Hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
