Analysis, Drug Costs, Drugs Prescribed, Stage 5 Chronic KidneyAbstract
Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), particularly those undergoing haemodialysis (HD), presents a significant economic burden, especially in low- and middle-income countries where healthcare resources are limited. This condition requires frequent and costly treatments to manage, leading to high healthcare expenditures. The aim of this study was to analyse the types and costs of medications most commonly prescribed to stage 5 CKD patients undergoing HD at dr. R. Goeteng Taroenadibrata Regional General Hospital. A descriptive-analytic study was conducted with a cross-sectional approach, using retrospective data from medical records and payment documents for stage 5 CKD patients receiving HD between July and December 2023. A total of 85 patients were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results showed that Heparin inj 5000 IU/mL was the most frequently prescribed medication, accounting for 17.43% of all prescriptions, primarily for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolism. Other drugs such as furosemide, folic acid, and amlodipine were also commonly prescribed. The most expensive medication was Epoetin Alfa 3000 IU/mL, with an average cost of IDR 3,112,500 over 182 prescribing episodes. This study highlights the importance of understanding drug expenditure in HD treatment, which can inform budget planning and resource allocation in hospitals
