Hello. The life expectancy with this disease is directly related to just how damaged the kidneys are. There are so many variables that effect just how long a person may live with this. Is the patient compliant ie; diet, medications, smoking, drinking etc..? How well is the patients hypertension controlled? All that I have mentioned and then some directly effect how long a person may live with this.
To answer the question of how a person dies from this, they most often die of kidney failure. When a person has an organ system that is failing, it frequently causes other organ systems to fail. The body tries to compensate using everything it has. There is also the risk of a fatal infection such as pneumonia as kidney patients are very ill and tend to be in bed. Another risk factor would be a blood clot that would cause a stroke or heart attack due to the same reason. As I said earlier, there are many variables that come into play. I hope that this has been helpful. If you need information that is a bit more in depth, feel free to e-mail me and I will try and help. Best of luck and I hope that this has been helpful.
