Effect of arteriovenous fistula creation on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with pre-dialysis advanced chronic kidney disease.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that AVF creation results in modest BP reduction in patients with pre-dialysis ESRD who require AVF for eventual hemodialysis therapy. Preferential DBP reduction suggest greater work is needed to characterize the ideal patient subset in which to use cAVF for treatment resistant hypertension in those without advanced CKD.
