Abstract
- At the time of hemodialysis vascular access evaluation, many chronic kidney disease patients already have iatrogenic injury to their veins which impedes the surgical construction of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Achieving the important goal of a greater prevalence of arteriovenous fistulae in the US hemodialysis population will require identification of those patients prior to reaching end-stage renal disease and an educational and procedural system for preserving their veins.
