    Abstract:
    The major purpose of this paper is to investigate the treatment costs of dialysis treatment by modality. In this study Odense University Hospital (OUH) and Sønderborg Hospital were chosen as cases. The costs of haemodialysis (HD) treatment are estimated to DKK 341-392,000 per patient during the first year, and DKK 328-379,000 per year the following years. The costs of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment are estimated to DKK 262-291,000 per patient during the first year, and DKK 251-277,000 per year the following years. The costs of CCPD (peritoneal dialysis with the aid of a machine), treatment are estimated to DKK 312-325,000 per patient during the first year, and DKK 296-308,000 per year the following years. The treatment costs of HD are lower than expected, while the treatment costs of PD are higher than expected. As a result of this the differences in treatment costs (HD versus PD) are much lower than expected, DKK 130,000 at the most.
