The Role of Far Infrared Therapy in the Unassisted Maturation of Arterio-venous Fistula in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Introduction: The goal of arterio-venous fistula (AVF) creation is to achieve a well-functioning access that can be cannulated repetitively and can provide adequate flow for the dialysis. The objective of this study was to assess the role of far infrared (FIR) therapy in the unassisted maturation of newly created AVF in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
