Overview

According to an estimate the mean cost of diagnosing and managing a patient with urinary tract infection including pyelonephritis is more than 229 pounds per year. Hyaluronan therapy given long term cuts down the cost of multiple pretreatments as it prevents recurrence of a urinary tract infection.[1][2]
