Exploring kidney dialysis costs in the United States: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that prevention of or delay in progression to ESRD could have considerable cost savings for Medicare and private payers, particularly in patients with high-risk conditions such as type 2 diabetes. More efficient use of resources is needed, including low-cost medication, to improve clinical outcomes and lower overall costs, especially in high-risk groups. Widening access to PD where it is safe and appropriate may help to reduce dialysis costs.PMID:38605648 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2342210 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)
