Hello Anil and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, first I express my heartfelt condolences to the departed soul. In kidney failure patients, there are two options, available for treatment.1. Maintained hemodialysis.2. Kidney transplant. In both cases, if the patient is in good control of the kidney functions and otherwise keeping good health, they can survive 15-20 or more years. Other medical problems, race, age, etc., are other factors determining survival rate. Hope your doubt is cleared. If you've any specific doubt, you may send it as a direct question.  Chat Doctor.
