Your kidneys are what filters toxins out of the blood. It depends on how severe you kidney failure is, if you have absolutely no functional activity then it will take about a week or two. In that week or two you will have confusion, coma and then death. I think dialysis would be a way to go.

2-3 days. Complete renal failure causes death in 2-3 days.
The renal system filters out the toxins in your blood stream very similarly to your liver. Without the filter your body builds up the a toxicity that is fatal within a couple days.
