How much is a CRRT machine?
The cost of one machine and 10 filters is approximately $24,000.
Is home hemodialysis better than peritoneal dialysis?

What machine does DaVita use?
The NxStage HHD machine can also be used with bagged dialysate – a practical option for situations when clean water supply is not available, and during travel. Offering a convenient, connected, and confident experience for patients is at the core of DaVita’s home dialysis program.
What is the smallest dialysis machine?
Qidni/D is world’s smallest blood purification device that is wearable and fits in the palm of your hand. It replaces dialysis, provides more frequent therapy and significantly improves the quality of life for patients with kidney failure.
