When someone is diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure then the person will usually die within 1 week to a month after diagnosis.
But that is only if the patient doesn't go on dialysis treatment or get a kidney transplant.
If a patient gets on dialysis when they have End Stage Renal Failure then they can live from 10 to 25 years or more.
Some patients with End Stage Renal Failure Kidney Disease have been on dialysis for 25 years and are living a normal life and life expectancy.
