Gfr is 44 how long I'm going to live

Hi , thank you for your question. That is a very daunting and overwhelming question that many with CKD wonder about. Have you had a chance to ask your doctor about this? Everyone's experiences may differ, so they'd know your situation the best. At a GFR of 44, you're probably in stage 3. Many people can prevent more damage to their kidneys and slow progression with treatment and lifestyle changes. Please know the community is here for you. Warmly, Minel (Team Member)

Hello CommunityMember9f210b , My father is 90. His favorite words are - I will live as long as I can and die when I can't help it. He's had 2 cancers, chronic kidney disease, and so many other illnesses. He gets up every morning, drinks a cup of coffee, and takes a walk. I am also stage 3. I don't think about how long I will live, I want to keep living. I do things to slow down the progression. Have you made any lifestyle changes? We would like to hear more from you. Diane (Team Member)
