cost of dialysis treatment
It requires patients to set aside three to five hours for treatment plus travel to and from the center three times a week. One year of hemodialysis can cost up to $72,000, while a year of peritoneal dialysis costs about $53,000, according to information from the U.S. Renal Data System. Despite cost and logistical challenges, the use of home dialysis, particularly peritoneal dialysis, is growing.
