Prices per 4 hour session varies from P2,800 to 5,000 depending on the hospital / center and depending whether they re-use the dialyzer or not.
The dialyzer is the filter through which the toxins are passed in the machine. It is actually the "artificial kidney" By re-using, it means that the dialyzer is cleaned and sterilized and re-used for about 2-4 times.
Our family opted for a center that did not re-use (Fresenius in Pasong Tamo extension in Makati) but we also tried other centers which re-used. My father especially liked Fresenius because of its very nice facilities, superb cleanliness and very nice and friendly staff. With Senior Citizen discount, the treatment cost us P3200 back in 2008 (I think it was in promo then).
