The impact of functioning hemodialysis arteriovenous accesses on renal graft perfusion: Results of a pilot study.

CONCLUSION:: Our results showed that temporary occlusion of an arteriovenous access causes a significant decline in renal graft resistive index and this decline is higher with the occlusion of accesses with higher Qa. These results suggest that the maintenance of arteriovenous accesses, mainly those with higher Qa, can decrease renal graft perfusion. PMID: 30520327 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
