What is Dialysis
A person needs dialysis if his kidneys no longer function in a normal state. The kidneys filters and purifies the blood to remove any wastes and maintain the balance of the fluids. Dialysis treatment replaces the kidney temporarily or permanently to do its functions.
Types of Dialysis
There are two types of dialysis depending on the needs of the patient. One is called hemodialysis and the other is peritoneal dialysis. The method of treatment is different but the concept of kidney treatment is the same.
Fistula Dialysis
It is a mode of access where the artery is connected to the vein for preparation. The price may vary depending on the patient’s profile.
Benefits of Dialysis
Technically, dialysis is a procedure that either helps or replaces a healthy kidney’s function. The organs filter out wastes in blood and maintain the balance of fluids in the body.
Therefore, you can benefit from dialysis if your kidneys do not function anymore. This is especially helpful for those with chronic kidney disease.
Number of Sessions
Most patients will be required to undergo dialysis treatments up to 3 sessions per week. Each hemodialysis session can last up to 4 hours in most hospitals.
Some people may have to undergo treatment for life. It means lifetime dialysis will be necessary. However, those with acute conditions may only need a specific number of treatment sessions.
Adult and Children Prices
There may be a slight difference in costs when it comes to the age of the patient. Children and babies young than 2 years old may have a different set of treatment plans as recommended by the doctor. They may be more expensive in terms of dialysis cost.
Where to Get Dialysis
Hospitals, both private and government, as well as dialysis centers are all able to serve you. You simply need to choose the facility near you for convenience. Next, select a center that can give you the lowest price of dialysis.
Schedule of Hemodialysis
Most hospitals will have schedules from Monday to Saturday. For each day, there is a fixed number of sessions. Some may have 3 sessions per day while bigger hospitals may have up to 5 sessions.
Philhealth Dialysis Coverage
Philhealth has recently increased its coverage of hemodialysis treatment. As of the latest details, it will now cover up to 90 days (or 90 sessions) worth of dialysis per patient. Now, the sessions have become 144.
