Dialysis

Dialysis equipment is used to filter out waste and toxins from the blood of patients with chronic kidney disease. It is a life-saving treatment that helps to keep patients healthy and functioning. There are several types of dialysis equipment available, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

Hemodialysis is the most common type of dialysis and uses a machine to clean the blood. It involves a dialyzer, which is a filter that removes waste and toxins from the blood, and a dialysis machine, which pumps and monitors the blood flow. Peritoneal dialysis is a type of dialysis that uses the lining of the abdomen to filter out waste and toxins from the blood. CRRT is a type of dialysis that is used for critically ill patients and involves a continuous flow of blood through a filter.

The price range for dialysis equipment can vary widely depending on the type of equipment and the manufacturer. Hemodialysis machines can range from $10,000 to $50,000, while peritoneal dialysis machines can range from $2,000 to $5,000. CRRT machines can range from $20,000 to $100,000. The cost of dialysis equipment can also depend on the brand and model. Popular manufacturers of dialysis equipment include Fresenius Medical Care, Baxter, and NxStage.
