Severe hemodialysis access-induced distal ischemia may be associated with poor survival.

CONCLUSION: Presence of severe hemodialysis access-induced distal ischemia may be associated with poorer survival in hemodialysis patients. Lower digital brachial index values are associated with higher overall mortality, even following correction for other known risk factors. PMID: 32588720 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
