always agree on the best time to start or how long to wait. Waiting usually
means 6 months to a year. But how long you can wait depends on several things,
including your age and overall health aside from your kidneys.
Most people go on dialysis or get a kidney transplant when they have symptoms of kidney failure or when the main measure of their kidney function (glomerular filtration rate, or GFR) is less than 10 milliliters per minute (mL/min).
Guidelines for doctors about when to start dialysis include kidney failure symptoms, problems controlling blood pressure, problems controlling fluid, and problems with nutrition. The guidelines suggest these problems happen when the GFR is between 5 to 10 mL/min.1 These are just guidelines. You and your doctor may decide to start dialysis before these problems are happening to you.
