Epidemiology and hospitalization costs of chronic kidney disease in Romania
The high hospitalization costs of CKD (representing 2.6% of the NHIH budget, not considering the funds for sick leave) cause major impact on the national health payer`s budget. Preventive strategies, early diagnosis and management as well as health education measures could act as means of mitigation. Our results should warn the public health policy decision makers about the importance of this disease.
