GAROE FERNANDEZ GARCIA, Eduardo. Evaluation of costs in haemodialysis. Rev Soc Esp Enferm Nefrol [online]. 2008, vol.11, n.1, pp.21-24. ISSN 1139-1375.

There is a lack of knowledge of the economic cost of haemodialysis and of the different kidney depurative treatments, and therefore the aim of this work was to evaluate the depurative treatment economically on the basis of the technique applied and vascular access used. The average cost of the session is 62.79 €, which includes from conventional high-flow haemodialysis (45.19 €) to Acetate Free Biofiltration (79.35 €). As regards vascular access, the average cost per session was 4.31 €; in patients with a catheter it was 5.35 € and 3.28 € in patients with an open arteriovenous fistula or graft. In addition, the economic impact of our unit in the Fundación Hospital Calahorra represents 5.08% of the total, of which 41% relates to staff costs, 33% to fungible material and 15% to pharmaceutical expense.
