lüll Preserving function and long-term patency of dialysis access Akoh JA; Hakim NSAnn R Coll Surg Engl 1999[Sep]; 81 (5): 339-42Of the 283, 932 patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving replacement therapy in the US in 1996, 62% were being treated with haemodialysis. Improved survival of haemodialysis patients coupled with the inability to provide enough renal transplants for the growing ESRD population has resulted in an increase in the average length of time patients spend on dialysis. Vascular accesses are, therefore, required to function for longer periods of time. Maintenance of a reliable access to the circulation has been described as the Achilles' heel of modern haemodialysis. Preserving access function and long-term patency are essential for efficient dialysis delivery.|*Vascular Patency[MESH]|Arteriovenous Shunt, Surgical[MESH]|Catheters, Indwelling[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Kidney Failure, Chronic/*therapy[MESH]|Renal Dialysis/*methods[MESH] |
