How much does dialysis cost in Wilmington?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and supplemental coverage. Ask the clinic and insurer for a written estimate before starting or transferring care.
How do I choose between home and in-center dialysis?
Home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis require training, supplies, and a suitable home routine, while in-center hemodialysis is performed at scheduled clinic visits. A nephrologist and dialysis educator can match the option to your medical needs and support system.
What should I do if I miss a dialysis treatment or have an urgent problem?
Call your dialysis care team promptly for instructions; do not simply wait for the next session. For severe shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, confusion, or other life-threatening symptoms, call 911 or go to an emergency department.
