How long stage 3 renal failure can last is mainly related to the patient’s physical fitness and treatment, the specific situation varies from person to person, if active and effective treatment, it can last for 10 to 30 years or even more. If there is no active and effective treatment, the maintenance time is usually about 2 to 3 years, or even sudden death.
Stage 3 renal failure indicates that the damage of renal function has been very serious, at this time, patients may have various complications, such as anemia, acidosis and electrolyte disorders.
If they are treated actively, with medication under the doctor’s guidance, to control the progress of the disease, then the survival time of the patients will be relatively long, and can last for 10 to 30 years, sometimes even more than 30 years. Even if the disease progresses to the uremic stage, as long as dialysis treatment can be carried out in time, then the maintenance time may also reach about 10 years.
However, if timely and effective treatment is not provided, then the maintenance time is only about 2 to 3 years, and the patient is likely to have sudden death due to uremia.
Therefore, patients should strictly follow the doctor’s arrangement, actively treat the disease, and go to the hospital regularly for kidney function tests to slow down the development of the disease. If the condition deteriorates, dialysis treatment should be carried out in time.
