“My brother’s kidney function is at ten percent. What is prognosis?” I receive the question from the Online Patient. Actually, under such a condition, the most concern for patients is the prognosis of renal function 10% or how long they can live with 10% renal function.

A person with 10 % renal function definitely has developed into Stage 5 CKD or Kidney Failure Stage. In the stage, kidneys have been damaged severely so that patients have to begin dialysis or kidney transplant for sustaining life time.

As for the prognosis, it depends on patients’s own condition and their treatment options.According to the clinical research, the life expectancy of patients on dialysis is about 5 years and the value will change according to patients’ overall condition. A sufficient dialysis is able to prolong their life span. A successful kidney transplant is able to give back a brand life to these patients, while a failed surgery will push these patients to undergo dialysis again. In addition, transplanted kidney failure and some other side effects of the surgery such as rejection and infections will make their condition worsen. Therefore, the prognosis of kidney function 10% isn’t good only depending on dialysis or kidney transplant. Therefore, it is important to receive other alternative treatments.
