In 1989 almost 200 patients/million were accepted for dialysis in the USA, the runner up Japan accepted around 150 and there is no European country as yet who has broken the 100 pt/million barrier for the treatment of End Stage Renal Failure (ESRD)....
The privatisation of home dialysis in 2006 created divided treatment regimes for dialysis patients such that this group is disadvantaged when they require hospitalisation for any reason, due to the privatisation of PD nurses and resources. Cost-shifting creates winners and losers, therefore, because ...

Dialysis is an effective treatment for end-stage renal disease, but it is available to only approximately half of those who need it in the world.Two prototype passive-flow dialysate delivery systems were constructed.Each dialysate delivery system provided a flow of dialysate in the range of 200-...
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...
1. Introduction Treatment of CKD imposes a substantial cost on health care budgets and middle-income countries (MIC) face significant challenges. In Malaysia, a middle-income country, an esti- mated 9.1% of the adult population suffered from CKD in 2013 [1] and this number is rising largely...
These patients can tolerate treatment with dialysis preparation and have a longer life expectancy. In addition, patients planning to undergo PD are more likely to select planned dialysis. This may be related to a better understanding of the necessity and options of renal replacement therapy in ...
was one of the few studies to verify the cost-effectiveness of dialysis treatment in Japan18. However, the sample appeared to be limited possibly due to the difficulty of accessing Japanese insurance data or of following-up. In the present study, we found that the medical costs of ...
Dialysis is an imperfect treatment to replace kidney function because it does not correct the endocrine functions of the kidney. Dialysis treatments replace some of these functions through diffusion (waste removal) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal)....
Despite technical advances that have facilitated the treatment of even the youngest children, morbidity and mortality remain higher with chronic dialysis than after renal transplantation. The cost of equipment and skilled personnel to provide the service compromises the availability of such dialysis in ...
