Background Autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an efficient hemodialysis access for
patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The specific threshold of vein diameter still …

Background It was the goal of this systematic review to collate and summarize the current
literature on hemodialysis (HD) access outcomes in women, identifying differences between …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to perform cost-effectiveness and budget
impact analyses comparing endovascular arteriovenous fistula creation to surgical …

Background Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the gold standard vascular access for effective
hemodialysis. There is a growing interest in AVF creations performed by nephrologists to …

Objective: to analyze the mean direct cost of the constituent procedures of conventional
hemodialysis, performed in three public teaching and research hospitals. Method …

Aim: To identify predictors that affect initial maturation of new wrist radio-cephalic
arteriovenous fistula and evaluate the clinical effects of the ipsilateral mid-forearm radio …

Background: Complications such as stenosis, thrombosis, aneurysmal dilatation, and
infection occur in at least one-third of all arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). Due to these …

Background: Many studies suggested that the optimal cephalic vein diameter for wrist radio-
cephalic arteriovenous fistula construction should be at least 2 mm to predict successful …

Objective Autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is recommended as the first choice for
hemodialysis vascular access. A small-caliber vein is one of the independent risk factors for …

The first hemodialysis (HD) in Singapore was conducted in September 1961 for acute
kidney failure with the twin-coil artificial kidney. It was not until 1968 when the chronic HD …
