Access Recirculation in Hemodialysis

Arteriovenous Fistula Recirculation in Hemodialysis

Recently, with great interest we read the review article by Zeraati et al. entitled “A review article: access recirculation among end stage renal disease patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis” in your most valuable journal (1). The author summarized some of observations about causes and clinical significance of arteriovenous (AV) fistula recirculation, techniques for accurate assessment ...

A Review Article: Access Recirculation Among End Stage Renal Disease Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis

BACKGROUND The presence of arterio-venous (A-V) fistula recirculation among hemodialysis (HD) patients markedly decrease adequacy of dialysis. OBJECTIVES The present article summarize some of observations about clinical significance, causes, the most common techniques for measurement, and main source of pitfall in calculation of access recirculation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A variety of liter...

Hemodialysis Access: The Fistula

The primary aim of this chapter is to understand the importance of placement and maintenance of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the patients with advanced renal failure prior to the need for dialysis. Vascular access complications contribute significantly to the morbidity and mortality associated with end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis. The major concern this publication will addre...
