Objective To explore the influencing factors for the risk of autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) nonfunction in patients on hemodialysis (HD) for >10 years. Methods A total of 50 patients on HD >10 years were assigned into two groups of nonfunction (n=26) and function (n=24) according to the presence or absence of AVF nonfunction. General profiles and laboratory parameters were compared between two groups for evaluating the effects of various indicators on AVF nonfunction. ResultsInitial cannulation time for AVF was significantly earlier in nonfunction group than that in function group. The levels of cholesterol and retinol-binding protein were significantly higher than those in function group. Inter-group differences also existed in the proportions of different cannulation techniques and blood flow distribution (P
