Abstract

The end-stage kidney disease life plan aims to individualize hemodialysis (HD) access selection in patients requiring renal replacement therapy. Paucity of data on risk factors for poor arteriovenous fistula (AVF) outcomes limits the ability of physicians to guide their patients on this decision. This is especially true for women, who are known to have worse AVF outcomes when compared with men. The goal of this study was to identify risk factors associated with poor AVF maturation outcomes in women that will help guide individualized access selection.
