Abstract
The needling and utilization of AVF for hemodialysis may affect vein anatomy, namely causing dilatation at the arterial point and narrowing at venous point of AVF. We suggest that blood pump velocity of the dialysis machine may have an impact on these changes, but practical importance of these findings has to be elucidated. The significance of (A-V) factor in the prognosis of fistula complications should be further studied and confirmed in the prospective trials.
