| [ Summary ] | The situation of dialysis therapy in Korea in 1995 is reported. In 1995, 15,930 endstage renal disease patients were registered. The incidence rate was 246 per million. Of those patients, 8,578 received hemodialysis, 2,743 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and 4,609 kidney transplantation. There were 171 hemodialysis institutions in this country. The annual increment rate in the number of the institutions was 17.1%. Two thousand six hundred and fifteen dialysating machines were in use. The number of dialysating machines also increased 16.5%. Most equipment for dialysis was imported from the U.S.A., Europe and Japan. Mainly machines for the single patient system were used. The fee for a dialysis session was approximately 15,000 yen. Patients had to pay 20% of the cost themselves. The dialyzer and blood tubing for dialysis were single used. As the procedure of dialysis therapy is essentially the same as in Japan, traveling Japanese dialysis patients can receive dialysis therapy without feeling anxiety in Korea. |
