Cost-of-illness analysis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) management in the Philippines
This analysis provides crucial evidence supporting early detection and intervention strategies in CKD management. It suggests the promotion of peritoneal dialysis as a cost-effective first-line therapy and highlights the long-term economic benefits of kidney transplantation. The findings have significant implications for health policy and clinical practice in the Philippines, offering a foundation for evidence-informed decision-making to improve CKD management sustainability and patient outcomes.
