Gaining Efficiencies: Resources and Demand for Dialysis around the Globe

Abstract: The magnitude of costs associated with treating ESRD patients globally is large and growing. PD is a clinically effective dialysis option that can be used by a majority of ESRD patients and can also be significantly cost-saving compared to HD therapy. Increasing clinically appropriate PD use would substantially reduce health-care costs and help health-care systems meet ever-tightening budget constraints.

“…Results of studies from other developing countries may help to illuminate the present one (10,11,33,44,45). In Chile, one study that evaluated direct costs documented an annual average cost of US$18 885 for HD and $17 031 for PD (31).…”

“…In the PD group, infection predominated as the main cause of clinical complications and death (Figure 1). Infection is known to be a relevant issue in developing countries (32)(33)(34)(35). Nevertheless, the causes and their impacts on costs for infections must be further investigated.…”

“…Peritoneal dialysis has also been shown to be less expensive and more cost-effective than hemodialysis (HD), and this may be especially important in lower-and middleincome countries where individual and societal resources are constrained and where access to hemodialysis is limited (1)(2)(3). Moreover, compared with HD, patients receiving PD are more likely to rate their dialysis care as excellent (4).…”

“…Access to dialysis remains limited in several regions of the world due to a lack of financial and clinical resources. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] As countries look to develop dialysis programs to manage the growing burden of ESRD, it is important to place patterns of peritoneal dialysis (PD) use in the global context. This information is particularly helpful to individuals in member nations responsible for health care delivery to evaluate their PD programs through comparisons with countries of similar socioeconomic structure.…”
