Hep C survival can be 20-40 years if your disease progresses. Some peoples liver damage form HCV never progresses past a certain point.

Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis

There is no cure for chronic kidney disease. The natural course of the disease is to progress until dialysis or transplant is required.

    * Patients with chronic kidney disease are at a much higher risk than the general population to develop strokes and heart attacks.

    * People undergoing dialysis have an overall five year survival rate of 32%. The elderly and those with diabetes have worse outcomes.

    * Recipients of a kidney transplant from a living related donor have a two year survival rate greater than 90%.

    * Recipients of a kidney from a donor who has died have a two year survival rate of 88%.
