Summary

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the recommended vascular access for chronic hemodialysis, as it is associated with less mortality and better patency than arteriovenous graft (AVG) or central venous catheter (CVC).

Unfortunately, AVF suffers from a high failure rate, due, in part, to poor venous diameter.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether a perioperative handgrip training can improve the diameter of AVF in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (stage IV-V).

Conditions

  • Arteriovenous Fistula

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Handgrip exercise program

Handgrip exercise with a rubber ball 4 weeks before the surgery until 4 weeks after the surgery 20 contractions per minute for a total of 20 minutes each day.
