A Predictive Tool for Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation Failure in Hemodialysis Patients
Introduction: For patients undergoing hemodialysis, a native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access due to its cost-effectiveness and longevity. However, AVFs often fail to mature properly, leading to complications and increased healthcare costs. Recent research suggests that bioelectrical impedance phase angle (PA) measurement may serve as a reliable predictor of AVF maturation failure.…
