The authors describe the case report of a 63 years old female patient with chronic renal failure in systemic lupus erythematosus. Vascular dialysis access in upper limbs could no more be used. The condition was approached by constructing an arteriovenous (AV) fistula in the thigh with transposed superficial femoral vein as the first procedure in the Czech Republic.

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.

Objective: This retrospective, single centre, comparative effectiveness study aimed to compare the long term outcomes of percutaneous arteriovenous fistulae (pAVF) and surgically created arteriovenous fistulae (sAVF) created in the proximal forearm for haemodialysis access.
Methods: Data were reviewed from a prospectively maintained database on patients who underwent pAVF or sAVF creation from September 2017 to September 2023. A total of 217 pAVFs (61 WavelinQ and 156 Ellipsys) and 158 sAVFs were analysed.

: The autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred choice for vascular access in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. However, in the long term, the primary patency of AVF is suboptimal, with an AVF failure of approximately 30% in one year. The aim of this study is to examine how the pre-operative baseline levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) affect long-term AVF failure.

Background: Haemodiafiltration (HDF) therapy improves the prognosis by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, and improving endothelial function. These factors contribute to vascular access (VA) stenosis, one of the most common complications in patients on haemodialysis (HD) or HDF. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of HDF on VA patency.

Malnutrition is a prevalent complication in hemodialysis patients and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with malnutrition among hemodialysis patients including patient's general characteristics, functional status, and dietary intake. This study involved hemodialysis patients in An-Najah National University Hospital at Nablus/Palestine.
