Detailed explanation-1: -Stage 5 CKD means your kidneys are getting very close to failure or have already failed. Kidney failure is also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
Detailed explanation-2: -If you choose to start dialysis treatment, stage 5 kidney disease life expectancy is five to 10 years on average, though some patients have lived on dialysis for 20 years or more. If you have a kidney transplant, a living donor kidney can function for 12 to 20 years, and a deceased donor kidney for 8 to 12 years.
Detailed explanation-3: -There is no cure for CKD, but if you progress to Stage 5 CKD, there are kidney failure treatments that can help take over the work your kidneys can no longer do. These treatments are dialysis, kidney transplantation, and conservative care.
