Kidneys are only functioning at 10%, dialysis would only make quality of life terrible, how long is he expected to live? Transplant not an option at this time.

Over the course of a few weeks the potassium level will rise, fluid will build in the blood stream and tissues. The excess fluid will increase the blood pressure and put strain on the heart and lungs. The potassium will cause irregularities on the heart rhythm. The most likely cause of death will be a heart attack. It should only take a month or less. I've seen it take just 3 days. I'm told that a patient is relatively comfortable until the heart attack hits, although they will experience muscle weakness (excess potassium) and discomfor from the excess fluid.

RE:
If you don't do kidney dialysis or a transplant and kidneys are at 10%, what is life expectancy? How long?

Lets clarify this answer "92% at 1 year. 80% at 5 years. 54% at 10 years. " This is graft survival (how long the kidney lasts) Not patient survival (if the kidney fails..the patient is still alive and can go back on dialysis to await another transplant) The experts say that a patient with a functioning kidney transplant can expect to double the remaining life years they would have had on dialysis. Others sources say that transplant patients will live 10 years longer than would be expected on dialysis.

Life expectancy could be as short as a few days to a couple weeks depending on the age and health of the patient in question. Without treatment, the time left would have increasingly poor quality until death. The kidneys perform many functions, one is filtering the blood of toxins. Too many toxins means further complications leading to death.
Maybe peritoneal dialysis is another alternative? Talk with a nephrology specialist. There are alternatives to death. I know many people who have dialyzed for many years.

I have to disagree that dialysis will only make quality of life terrible. Even if it is not a cure, you will feel much better, a lot more energy and you will have less restrictions when it comes to food and water intake. Have you (or the person you refer to) consider peritoneal dialysis? You can do it at home, in your sleep and have a normal life during the day.

I had a kidney stone while I was pregnant it was horrible, I was in the hospital twice and put on morphine drip. Worst pain ever!
I was told my kidney stone was because I had too much calcium in my body. I was pregnant and increased my calcium like you are suppose too. I was drinking lots of milk, vitamins, and tums for heartburn ( which are calcium). So I had to stop taking all of those things even though I was pregnant.
I discovered this program and I was successful.
