Comprehensive Guide to Home Dialysis Machines: Costs and Options

Blood flows through the insides of the fibers; dialysate fluid bathes the outside of the fibers. Wastes and excess water from the blood diffuse through tiny pores in the fibers and into the dialysate and are flushed away. With each pass through the dialyzer, blood gets cleaner. Home dialysis machines cost from $5,000 to $15,000, varying prices depending on the model, brand, features, and whether insurance covers part of the cost or leasing options are available.
