What Is The Survival Rate Of A Person With Only 20% Heart Functioning?
Can a person continue to function with less than 20% of their heart functioning. They also have issues with the kidney not functioning properly & have had 4 litres of liquid removed & they still have to remove about another 10 to even come close to the lungs functioning properly

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Heart function of 20% with end stage kidney disease carry poor prognosis.
His fluid build up in the body is due to failing of these two organs (heart and kidney).
So according to my clinical experience, in his case life expectancy is less than 2-3 months.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your patient.
Thanks.
