Abstract

Fistula flow, PAP and EF of all patients should be checked at least 6 months after fistula creation. Patients with higher fistula flow rates and patients with diabetes mellitus need to be more closely observed. In addition, elderly patients with significant cardiac and other comorbidities may be more prone to develop symptoms after AVF creation.
