The cost of kidney transplantation mainly includes three parts: the cost during surgery, the cost of postoperative immunosuppression, and the cost of postoperative complication treatment. 1. Costs during surgery Kidney transplantation from living relatives does not require the payment of kidney transplantation fees, while kidney transplantation from non-living relatives requires the payment of certain fees (fees vary from place to place, so we will not discuss them here). The cost of surgery and various tests are relatively fixed, while the type of post-operative immunosuppressants and whether to use antibodies for induction therapy are of the patient’s choice, so this part of the cost varies greatly. If it is a living relative kidney donor, the total cost is about 60,000~80,000 Yuan if the kidney is successfully discharged from the hospital about 2 weeks after the operation. Due to the different medical insurance policies and reimbursement ratios in different places, the final cost that patients need to pay by themselves is also different. 2, the cost of immunosuppressants The price of different types of immunosuppressants varies greatly, we took a patient weighing 60kg, according to tacrolimus 3mg twice a day; CsA 125mg twice a day; 0.75g twice a day; Miff 0.54g twice a day; 2mg once a day as an example, roughly calculated the total approximate cost of immunosuppressants for one year (due to The total cost of immunosuppressants for one year was roughly calculated (for reference only because the reimbursement ratio of medical insurance varies in different areas). 3, the cost of postoperative complications Common complications after kidney transplantation include rejection of the transplanted kidney, lung infection, etc. Among the rejection reactions, the cost of antibody-mediated rejection is high, and the average cost of each treatment can reach thousands or even more than ten thousand dollars. If you are unfortunate enough to have a serious lung infection, or even more unfortunate to be in the intensive care unit, the cost is difficult to estimate, but tens of thousands of dollars should not be rare.
