Abstract
In spite of the guidelines for an improvement, the follow up of vascular accesses remains insufficient, due to the costs and the burden for the patients. The rate of thrombosis of vascular access reaches 10% per annum. We assumed that the plasmatic level of osteopontin (OPN), a pro-inflammatory molecule correlated with intimal hyperplasia, could be a predictive marker of stenosis in hemodialysis patients with an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), which could allow the detection of the AVFs at risk of thrombosis by a biological test.
