Days. Stage 5 means the kidneys have essentially ceased to function, and the major organs suffer the damage immediately. Without dialysis, death will occur in a matter of days.

Not long if you listen to your doctors, take your life into your own hands, do research and you will fine most disease and sickness can be cured. Youtube bob beck, might not cure your problem, but I believe it will greatly help you, and might even save your life.

Days.
If you are familiar with kidney dialysis, the patients on it get it done every other day, three days over weekends. Due to the three day stretch many will tell you they feel kind of down during the third day.
It also depends upon what you eat. If you really go nuts with salt and potassium containing foods you will not last as long as if you did not eat at all.
Figure you will feel down by day three, pretty crumby by day five and dead shortly after.

Not very, weeks to months (and probably not many months). It depends on how endstage the renal disease is, there is a large difference between some renal function and none at all.
