The Predictive Significance of Doppler Parameters on the Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation for Hemodialysis-A Single Center Experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Doppler ultrasound examination of blood vessels has a significant role in planning and identifying parameters that affect the functioning and maturation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Our goal was to determine the predictive parameters of Doppler ultrasound, measured at different time distances, which affect the maturation of AVF for hemodialysis.

Materials and methods

The research was a retrospective cohort study. The criteria for selecting patients in our study was the existence of information on ultrasound examinations of the lumen of blood vessels before the creation of AVF, as well as lumens of fistula conduits and blood flow measurements, at time intervals of 6-8 weeks and 2-4 months, after the creation of AVF, which we recorded in 105 patients.
