COMPARATIVE COSTS OF VARIOUS DIALYSIS TREATMENTS

^* Toronto Western Hospital.

The total costs -supplies, salaries and other "direct" costs were calculated for in-centre intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD), home peritoneal dialysis (CAPD and IPD) and in-centre hemodialysis (assisted and self-care), all of which are provided at the Toronto Western Hospital. For the costs of home hemodialysis, for comparison purposes, we used figures obtained from the Toronto General Hospital. The average costs (in Canadian dollars) per patient year, not including any medical fees, were as follows: In-centre intermittent peritoneal dialysis: $31,536; Home IPD: $21,600; CAPD: $12,360; Incentre assisted hemodialysis [with three times (average) dialyser re-use]: $18,048; self-care hemodialysis [with three times (average) dialyser re-use and using the hospital's equipment]: $13,752; and home hemodialysis [with limited dialyser re-use]: $13,116.
