This costing report accompanies the clinical guideline: ‘Kidney disease: peritoneal dialysis in
the treatment of stage 5 chronic kidney disease’ (available online at
www.nice.org.uk/guidance/CG125).
Issue date: July 2011
This guidance is written in the following context
This report represents the view of the Institute, which was arrived at after careful
consideration of the available data and through consulting healthcare professionals. It should
be read in conjunction with the NICE guideline. The report and templates are implementation
tools and focus on those areas that were considered to have significant impact on resource
utilisation.
The cost and activity assessments in the reports are estimates based on a number of
assumptions. They provide an indication of the likely impact of the principal recommendations
and are not absolute figures. Assumptions used in the report are based on assessment of the
national average. Local practice may be different from this, and the template can be amended
to reflect local practice to estimate local impact.

Executive summary
This costing report looks at the resource impact of implementing the NICE
guideline ‘Kidney disease: peritoneal dialysis in the treatment of stage 5
chronic kidney disease’ in England.
The costing method adopted is outlined in appendix A; it uses the most
accurate data available, was produced in conjunction with key clinicians, and
reviewed by clinical and financial professionals.
Supporting implementation
The NICE clinical guideline on peritoneal dialysis is supported by a range of
implementation tools available on our website
www.nice.org.uk/guidance/CG125 and detailed in the main body of this report.
Significant resource-impact recommendations
This report focuses on the recommendation that is considered to have the
greatest resource impact and that will therefore require the most additional
resources to implement or can potentially generate savings. This is:
Consider peritoneal dialysis as the first choice of treatment modality for
adults without significant associated comorbidities.
Total cost impact
The annual changes in revenue costs arising from fully implementing the
guideline are summarised in the table below.

This is an estimate of the recurrent annual cost after uptake of peritoneal
dialysis has reached the optimal level, that is, when the population on dialysis
consists entirely of people who have been offered peritoneal dialysis as a first
choice where appropriate. It is estimated that it could take approximately 20
years to reach optimal uptake.
As NHS organisations budget for the next 3–5 years, we have also estimated
the savings that could be realised after 5 years with a conservative increase in
the number of people on peritoneal dialysis of 1% each year.
Increased uptake of peritoneal dialysis may be delayed initially if additional
staff training is needed to enable patients to be supported in carrying out
peritoneal dialysis.

Benefits and savings
Implementing the clinical guideline will bring the following benefits:
Being on dialysis has a substantial effect on patient’s lives. Offering
peritoneal dialysis, if it is suitable, gives patients more choice and flexibility.
Implementing the guideline may increase the number of adults starting on
peritoneal dialysis each year. If more patients start on peritoneal dialysis
this will result in savings. The level of savings will depend on the number of
patients who start on peritoneal dialysis.
If the number of adults on peritoneal dialysis in England increases from
current levels of approximately 15% (Renal Registry 2010) to the optimal
level of 39% (NHS Kidney Care 2009 and expert clinical opinion), there
may be annual savings of approximately £37 million nationally.
Local costing template
The costing template produced to support this guideline enables organisations
in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to estimate the impact locally and
replace variables with ones that depict the current local position. A sample
calculation using this template showed that additional savings of £72,000
could be made for a population of 100,000.

1 Introduction
1.1 Supporting implementation
1.1.1 The NICE clinical guideline on peritoneal dialysis for people with
stage 5 chronic kidney disease is supported by the following
implementation tools available on our website
www.nice.org.uk/guidance/CG125:
costing tools
a national costing report; this document
a local costing template; a simple spreadsheet that can be
used to estimate the local cost of implementation.
baseline assessment tool; assess your baseline against the
recommendations in the guidance to prioritise implementation
activity, including clinical audit
podcasts; an expert view on implementing the guidance
clinical case scenarios; example cases designed to improve and
assess users’ knowledge of the guidance.
1.1.2 A practical guide to implementation, ‘How to put NICE guidance
into practice: a guide to implementation for organisations’, is also
available to download from the NICE website. It includes advice on
establishing organisational level implementation processes as well
as detailed steps for people working to implement different types of
guidance on the ground.
1.2 What is the aim of this report?
1.2.1 This report provides estimates of the national cost impact arising
from implementing guidance on peritoneal dialysis in England.
These estimates are based on assumptions about current practice
and predictions of how current practice might change following
implementation.
National costing report: Kidney disease – peritoneal dialysis (July 2011) page

1.2.2 This report aims to help organisations plan for the financial
implications of implementing NICE guidance.
1.2.3 This report does not reproduce the NICE guideline on peritoneal
dialysis and should be read in conjunction with it (see
www.nice.org.uk/guidance/CG125).
1.2.4 The costing template that accompanies this report is designed to
help those assessing the resource impact at a local level in
England, Wales or Northern Ireland. The costing template may help
inform local action plans demonstrating how implementation of the
guideline will be achieved.
1.3 Epidemiology of stage 5 chronic kidney disease
1.3.1 In the UK, 400–800 per million of the population at any one time
need renal replacement in the form of dialysis. The prevalence of
dialysis in the UK is highly age dependent – for people aged
70–80 years it is between 1600 and 2000 people per million.
1.3.2 More than 2% of the NHS budget is spent on renal replacement
therapy (dialysis and transplants) for people with established renal
failure.
1.4 Models of care
1.4.1 Two main types of dialysis are available, haemodialysis and
peritoneal dialysis. The main factors that determine what type of
dialysis people choose are lifestyle preferences and feasibility.
Factors to take into account include whether the person would
prefer to have treatment at home; whether treatment can be
delivered at home (not all areas offer home-based options and not
all homes are suitable or can be converted to support home
dialysis); access for dialysis; travelling distance to the dialysis
centre and availability of places in the centre.

1.4.2 Peritoneal dialysis is administered by the patient, or helper, at
home, either overnight while they are asleep (automated peritoneal
dialysis [APD] and assisted automated peritoneal dialysis [aAPD])
or continuously (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [CAPD]).
1.4.3 Haemodialysis is usually administered in a hospital or satellite unit
and takes about 4 hours (perhaps more), three times a week. In
some cases, haemodialysis is administered at home.
1.4.4 The proportion of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
starting treatment on home- or hospital-based dialysis, and
peritoneal or haemodialysis treatment, varies considerably. The
proportion of people with chronic kidney disease using in-centre
haemodialysis ranges from 60–100%. It is likely that this variability
represents variation in local practice, resources, and in particular
the development of aAPD and home haemodialysis programmes.
1.4.5 There is currently no national guidance in England and Wales on
supporting people in making informed decisions about renal
replacement therapy.
2 Costing methodology
2.1 Process
2.1.1 We use a structured approach for costing clinical guidelines (see
appendix A).
2.1.2 We had to make assumptions in the costing model. We developed
these assumptions and tested them for reasonableness with
members of the Guideline Development Group (GDG) and key
clinical practitioners in the NHS.
2.1.3 Because it is estimated that it may take 20 years to reach optimal
uptake and the NHS budgets for the next 3–5 years, the costing
template estimates both the potential national savings on full
implementation and the potential savings after 5 years if the
National costing report: Kidney disease – peritoneal dialysis (July 2011) page

number of people on peritoneal dialysis were to increase by 1%
each year.
2.2 Scope of the cost-impact analysis
2.2.1 The guideline offers best practice advice on the care of people with
a diagnosis of stage 5 chronic kidney disease who need or who are
receiving renal replacement therapy (specifically peritoneal dialysis).
2.2.2 The guidance does not cover people who need or are receiving renal
replacement therapy for conditions other than stage 5 chronic kidney
disease. Therefore, these issues are outside the scope of the
costing work.
2.2.3 We worked with the GDG and other professionals to identify the
recommendations that would have the most significant resource
impact (see table 1). Costing work has focused on these
recommendations.
Table 1 Recommendations with a significant resource impact
High-cost recommendation Recommendation
number
Offer all people with stage 5 chronic kidney disease a
choice of peritoneal dialysis or haemodialysis, if
appropriate, but consider peritoneal dialysis as the first
choice of treatment modality for:
children 2 years old or younger
people with residual renal function
adults without significant associated comorbidities.
1.1.9
2.2.4 We have limited the consideration of costs and savings to direct
costs to the NHS that will arise from implementation. We have not
included consequences for the individual, the private sector or the
not-for-profit sector. Where applicable, any realisable cost savings
arising from a change in practice have been offset against the cost
of implementing the change.

2.3 Basis of unit costs
2.3.1 The way the NHS is funded has undergone reform with the
introduction of ‘Payment by results’, based on a national tariff. The
national tariff will be applied to all activity for which Healthcare
Resource Groups (HRGs) or other appropriate case-mix measures
are available. If a national tariff price or indicative price exists for an
activity this has been used as the unit cost; this has then been
inflated by the national average market forces factor.
2.3.2 Using these prices ensures that the costs in the report are the cost
to the primary care trust (PCT) of commissioning predicted
changes in activity at the tariff price, but may not represent the
actual cost to individual trusts of delivering the activity.
2.3.3 For new or developing services, for which there is no national
average unit cost, organisations already undertaking this activity
have been asked their current unit cost.

Recommendation
Offer all people with stage 5 chronic kidney disease a choice of peritoneal
dialysis or haemodialysis, if appropriate, but consider peritoneal dialysis as
the first choice of treatment modality for:
children 2 years old or younger
people with residual renal function
adults without significant associated comorbidities.
Background
3.1.1 The previously strong presence of peritoneal dialysis in the UK has
fallen in the last decade (first modality peritoneal dialysis reduced
from 40% to 21%). There is wide variation around the country both
National costing report: Kidney disease – peritoneal dialysis (July 2011) page
12 of 23
in the number of patients on peritoneal dialysis and in the types of
dialysis available. It has been shown that 50% of patients given
free choice will choose peritoneal dialysis, but the percentage on
peritoneal dialysis at 90 days ranges from 0–60% (NHS Kidney
Care 2009).
3.1.2 Implementation of the recommendation to consider peritoneal
dialysis as a first choice for new patients, if it is appropriate, may
result in an increase in the number of new dialysis patients starting
on peritoneal dialysis each year. Because peritoneal dialysis is
estimated to be less expensive than haemodialysis this is likely to
result in savings.
Assumptions made
3.1.3 It is assumed that peritoneal dialysis is already well established as
an option for children, so calculations focus on adults older than
18 years.
3.1.4 The number of people currently on renal dialysis in England is
estimated to be 0.0791% using the adult acceptance rate for 2009
(Renal Registry 2010).
3.1.5 The percentage of patients on each modality is also given for each
renal centre. The current number of dialysis patients on peritoneal
dialysis in England is estimated to be approximately 15%.
According to expert opinion, 10–15% of people will not be suitable
for peritoneal dialysis. A mid-point of 12.5% has been used.
3.1.6 NHS Kidney Care (2009) suggests that given informed choice, 50%
of new patients (for whom peritoneal dialysis is suitable) would opt
for peritoneal dialysis.
3.1.7 Some patients who choose peritoneal dialysis will have to move on
to haemodialysis after the procedure to create access fails. In
addition to the patients who are unable to start on peritoneal
dialysis due to
