The cost of dialysis in Germany typically ranges from $400 to $500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, whether you need hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, the frequency of sessions, and the experience of the nephrology team. In the United States, the average cost is $800 (according to the National Kidney Foundation). That means dialysis in Germany generally costs about 50% less than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include the dialysis session, use of high-quality dialyzers, all consumables, on-site nursing care, and routine lab tests. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the session itself, with separate charges for lab work, medications, and transportation. Always confirm with your clinic what is included in the quoted price.
