Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must advise you , not to despair.
Her future lifespan depends on her general condition and kidney function status, with other medical conditions being treated.
If you mention her age,and send her last reports of urine, blood and scan, to me,i can give you an expert advise, regarding your question.
Wishing her good health.
