Cost and maintenance cycles of peritoneal dialysis?

  Patient: What is the approximate cost of peritoneal dialysis for uremic patients? Can I live a normal life after dialysis? How long can dialysis last?  Mao Zhiguo: The cost of peritoneal dialysis, based on the current medication habits in Shanghai and the price of Baxter’s peritoneal dialysis solution, is about 50,000-60,000 a year, and slightly less for patients with better control.  The country is currently trying to adjust the price of peritoneal dialysis fluid, and it is expected that the cost of peritoneal dialysis will be even lower in the future, probably at 30-40,000. Of course, the prices of medical materials and drugs vary from place to place, so the above figures are for reference only.  If peritoneal dialysis goes well, the patient will be able to live a normal life, return to society, and even continue working. Peritoneal dialysis can be maintained for many years by strictly following the instructions and requirements of the doctors and nurses.
