How long does a person typically live after their kidneys are failing and they are taken off life support? A person can live for a while if the only problem they have is kidney failure. It can take a week or two for the toxins and wastes to build up enough to kill you and the process is not pleasant. i wouldn't give it more than a week. well people on dialysis typically dont last more than two years... so i think it will take a couple days to a week before the toxins take over the body and kill them not long the toxins build up in the body and the fluid causing other problems. I took care of some one in this situation and she lived 10 days If you are talking about taking a pt off dialysis, it can take awhile. Depends on if they have 1 remanent of kidney finction left. depends on what other organs are failing. usually 5-10 days if its primarily the kidneys, however you said life support so if they needed ventilator assistance, then probably no where near that long. my mother took 7 days, but she was in a coma the last 5. which usually is the case due to the build up of toxins in the body, from the kidneys not filtering the blood. |
