What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Person With Damaged Kidneys?

I was wondering if you could tell me how long my mother has to live - we found out her kidneys are failing.
She is 92 yrs. old. Recently in the hospital and now in a nursing home. Her level was 6.9. Does she have weeks or a few days. She is eating a little and drinking some. She is on comfort care.
Thank you,
Carol Mann
