Abstract
Renal transplantation is a cost-effective form of renal replacement therapy which prolongs life and improves the quality of life. The representation in the German DRG system is, however, not cost-covering in all cases. Cost-effectiveness must also be considered in view of long-term transplant survival which relates to overall costs to the health care system and goes beyond hospital costs.Mesh:
