What is kidney failure?

The kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and fluid from the blood, either suddenly or as a worsening of chronic disease. Treatment typically involves IV fluids, adjusting medications, and frequent lab tests to track kidney function.

Kidney Failure is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 684 (without complications), classified within the Kidney & Urinary diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.

Data current as of 2026-10-10.
