It depends on many factors, like what other comorbid conditions the person has, how old they are, what the etiology of disease is (HTN or DM or both), if they are compliant with they're meds. Although there is no cure for CKD someone can have a kidney transplant or go on to dialysis once end stage renal diseas has developed. One can live a very long time with proper care, diet control, and medication compliance.
