To assess the cost of hemodialysis (HD) delivered at our center according to the treatment protocols based on the current Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) guidelines, we analyzed our cost data during the period from 1st of January 2007 to 30th of June 2010. The methods were...
HemodialysiscostIrandeveloping worldESRDThe purpose of this study was to assess the health service cost of hemodialysis (HD) delivered at hospitals in Iran as a developing country with a well-defined program of renal replacement therapy. A cost analysis was performed from the viewpoint of the 2 ...
Although treatment for the dialysis population is resource intensive, a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) by matched pairs is still lacking. After matching for clinical characteristics and propensity scores, we identified 4,285 pairs of incident HD and...
of more than 500000 and inquired about the availability and cost to consumers for 7 diagnostic and therapeutic procedures (prothrombin time measurement, 12-lead electrocardiography, screening mammography, screening colonoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging of the head, a session of hemodialysis, and total ...
(n=119) who received ferrous suecinate tablets.The dosage of iron dextran was calculated for each patient and was given during each hemodialysis session.After total dosage was finished,100 mg of maintenance dose was given periodically depending on the levels of ferritin and Hb.The oral group ...
They are not on that allocated treatment for the last dialysis session of two consecutive months (i.e. allocated to HDF but receiving HD, or vice versa) 2. They and their clinical team are not aiming for high-volume HDF for two consecutive months. (this applies to the HDF-only arm) ...
The patient and the donor will go through a confirmatory lymphocyte crossmatch test to analyze the presence of any preformed rejection antibodies. The patient will also undergo a hemodialysis session 24 hours before the surgery and start with immunosuppressive medication. ...
Hemodialysis cost was calculated by aggregating the cost of all activities performed for that single hemodialysis session. Minor pre-dialysis surgical procedures like vascular access or fistula grafting costs were divided into average dialysis sessions. Peritoneal dialysis costs were calculated by sessions ...
