Yes, someone can die of kidney failure. Kidney failure can be acute or chronic. Acute kidney disease is a sudden loss of kidney function, which can sometimes be reversed with prompt treatment. However, chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition where the kidney function deteriorates over time. If kidney disease progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the kidneys are no longer able to perform their necessary functions effectively. Without life-sustaining treatments such as dialysis or a kidney transplant, a person with ESRD can indeed die within a short period of time, potentially a week or so, as the body accumulates waste and toxins that the kidneys are no longer able to filter out.

Acute kidney disease has the potential to reverse itself. But in chronic kidney disease, kidney function gradually worsens with time. ... In other words, without a lifesaving measure like dialysis or a kidney transplant, a person would die within a week or so.
