We're still somewhat new at living with CKD and dialysis. It's good to gain wisdom and knowledge from those of you who have lived on the receiving end. The hospitals in my region of the US generally do not even have a dialysis unit. From what we've seen they have 1-4 portable machines (Fresenius 2008 w/ water purifier on wheels) and contract dialysis from a provider like Fresenius who provide traveling nurses who then come to the patient's rooms and dialyze them. The nurse may have to cover 4 hospitals each day. They do not provide any outpatient dialysis services from what we have seen :( Please keep up the good posts.Donsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14685871553456912924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-1519103075301799982009-01-30T10:30:00.000+05:302009-01-30T10:30:00.000+05:30The total cost was Rupees 2850 ($ 60) of which the actual treatment costed me Rupees 1000 ($ 21), the dialyser and the tubings, Rupees 1400 ($ 30) and Rupees 450 ($ 9.5) for the rest of the consumables (all billed separately).Kamal Shahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10671037449347982821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-68493294550830183102009-01-30T10:15:00.000+05:302009-01-30T10:15:00.000+05:30Very interesting report Kamal. It's nice to hear a story of a unit that works to meet your needs. How much was the treatment?billpeckham.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927821946396968149noreply@blogger.com
