Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the use of tunneled dialysis catheters (TDC) in chronic hemodialysis patients, focusing on their frequency of dysfunction and replacement over five years.
- - Out of 625 TDC inserted, 37.4% (234) had to be replaced due to dysfunction, with diabetes identified as a significant predictor of TDC issues.
- - The findings emphasize the growing use of TDC in dialysis, the problem of dysfunction, and the necessity for ongoing research to enhance dialysis access and catheter performance.
