The effect of vascular access type on intra-access flow volume during hemodialysis.

CONCLUSION: This study showed that there is a significant difference in Qac variation according to vascular access type during hemodialysis and that arteriovenous graft (vs arteriovenous fistula) and the lower-arm location (vs upper arm) were associated with a decrease in Qac during hemodialysis. This suggests that consideration of vascular access type is required to minimize Qac variation during hemodialysis. PMID: 31148508 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
