Third-stage kidney failure is generally not fatal. Over time, it tends to deteriorate. Diabetes, high blood pressure, alcohol, and poor diet can rapidly destroy already weak kidneys. To the maximum possible extent, these factors have to be managed. Eventually, if damage continues, dialysis will be required and can be continued for many years.

What can you do if your kidney fails?

People who have kidney failure, which is when 90% or more of the kidneys do not work, must be on dialysis. When kidneys fail the body cant cleanse the body of waste. The persons blood will become toxic and the person will die without dialysis or a kidney transplant. That's just with kidney failure. Of course you can live with only one kidney.

Generally, hospice care focuses on comfort rather than curative treatment, and patients in this stage may live anywhere from a few days to several months.
