Article Abstract

Background: Thrombosis can lead to fistula failure and affect the smooth progress of hemodialysis. This study aims to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of autologous arteriovenous fistula thrombosis in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Methods: A total of 1,016 patients who underwent hemodialysis at a tertiary A hospital in East China from February 2020 to March 2024 were retrospectively enrolled. The participants were randomly divided into a training set (711 people) and a validation set (305 people) at a ratio of 7:3. A risk prediction model was established according to the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis. The performance of the model was evaluated with the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve analysis, the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test and decision curve analysis (DCA).

Results: The incidence of autologous arteriovenous fistula thrombosis in patients on maintenance hemodialysis was 32%. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), catheterization history, hemodialysis duration, autologous arteriovenous fistula stenosis and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) were independent risk factors for autologous arteriovenous fistula thrombosis. These five predictors were used to construct a predictive nomogram. The AUC was 0.818 in the training set and 0.826 in the validation set. The calibration curve of the nomogram was close to the standard curve, indicating that the model was well calibrated. The DCA results confirmed that the model provided good net clinical benefits.

Conclusion: In this study, a predictive nomogram for arteriovenous fistula thrombosis was established and validated.

Objective: Minimal Invasive Dialysis Access (MIDA) for renal dialysis encompasses percutaneous arteriovenous fistula (pAVF) creation and the modified percutaneous Seldinger peritoneal dialysis catheter insertions (pPD). This review examines the impact of MIDA on technical success, maturation rates, patency, clinical benefits, complications, and cost.

Methods: A review was made of the literature on MIDA including pAVF creation and pPD insertion regarding technical success rates, maturation rates, patency, clinical benefits, complications, and cost.

Widespread fragmentation shells in combat operations with frequent multiple damage to organs and systems force to use all available diagnostic methods for treating severe injuries including lesion of great vessels of extremities. One of the consequences of these lesions is arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The last one may be asymptomatic at first.

For many years, the vascular access guidelines recommended placement of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in preference to arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) because AVFs had superior long-term patency, required fewer interventions to maintain patency, and were associated with lower costs of vascular access management. However, subsequent research has questioned the "Fistula First strategy" (placing an AVF whenever the vascular anatomy is suitable). First, AVF non-maturation is substantial (30-40%), and even higher among women, older patients and those with peripheral vascular disease.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of serum advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on stenosis after first autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Methods: Patients with ESRD undergoing standard native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for the first time in the Department of Nephrology, Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University from February to June 2022 were prospectively enrolled. The preoperative general data, clinical examination results and ultrasound data of the operated limbs were collected.
