Impact of Arteriovenous fistula creation on estimated glomerular filtration rate decline in Predialysis patients

Abstract Background Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of choice for patients on hemodialysis. Recent evidence suggests that AVF creation may slow estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline. The study objective was to assess the impact of the AVF creation on eGFR decline, af...
