HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
His life expectancy is not more than 3 months . But it could be even less. To tell you precisely I need to have more information about him .
1. How frequently he gets dialysed? 2. What is his Heart rate and Blood pressure? 3. His Oxygen Saturation? 4. His recent blood reports.
Kindly revert back with these details so that I can give a much more accurate survival time .
Regards.
