Peritoneal Dialysis Systems in Uganda
Available Peritoneal Dialysis Systems Models

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a life-sustaining treatment for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering an alternative to hemodialysis. A PD system leverages the patient's own peritoneal membrane – the lining of the abdomen – as a natural filter to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood. This is achieved by introducing a sterile dialysate solution into the peritoneal cavity through a surgically implanted catheter. The dialysate remains in the cavity for a prescribed period (dwell time), during which it draws waste and excess fluid from the blood across the peritoneal membrane. The used dialysate is then drained and replaced with fresh solution, a process known as an 'exchange'. This continuous or intermittent exchange process effectively cleanses the blood without the need for external blood circuitries and frequent clinic visits often associated with hemodialysis.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) systems are a vital component of kidney disease management, particularly for facilities in Uganda striving to offer comprehensive renal care. The need for these systems extends across a spectrum of healthcare providers, from advanced tertiary care centers to district hospitals equipped to handle chronic disease management. The primary beneficiaries of robust PD infrastructure are patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) who are not suitable candidates for or do not have access to hemodialysis, or who prefer the flexibility and home-based nature of PD.

Key healthcare facilities and departments that would significantly benefit from and require peritoneal dialysis systems include:

Ensuring a seamless and effective Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) system installation is paramount to providing reliable and high-quality care for patients in Uganda. Our comprehensive approach covers every stage, from initial site preparation to final calibration, guaranteeing optimal system performance and patient safety.

The cost of a peritoneal dialysis (PD) system in Uganda can vary significantly based on several factors, including the specific type of system (e.g., automated cycler vs. manual supplies), the brand, the healthcare facility or supplier, and whether the cost includes ongoing supplies and training. While a precise figure is difficult to pinpoint without specific requirements, you can expect a range of investment. For manual PD, the initial setup and supply costs for a month could range from approximately UGX 1,500,000 to UGX 3,000,000. Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) cyclers, which are more sophisticated and can automate the dialysis process overnight, represent a higher initial investment. The cost of an APD cycler unit itself might range from UGX 15,000,000 to UGX 40,000,000 or more. This initial outlay for the cycler is often supplemented by recurring monthly costs for disposable supplies (bags, tubing, solutions) which can add another UGX 1,000,000 to UGX 2,500,000 per month, depending on the dialysis frequency and prescribed regimen. It is crucial to consult directly with local medical equipment suppliers and healthcare providers in Uganda for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing tailored to your specific needs and the chosen treatment modality.
