We present a new edition of the Hemodialysis Center Guide. It is part of the program of
updating the Clinical Guides of the Spanish Society of Nephrology. It is a consensus …

The goal of vascular access creation is to achieve a functioning arteriovenous fistula (AVF)
or arteriovenous graft (AVG). An autologous fistula has been shown to be superior to AVG or …

Background: Vascular access surveillance of dialysis patients is a challenging task for
clinicians. We derived and validated an arteriovenous fistula failure model (AVF-FM) based …

Peritoneal infections still represent a most feared complication of chronic peritoneal dialysis,
due to their high incidence and relevant clinical consequences, including direct mortality …

Background Tunneled catheter-related bacteremia represents one of the major
complications in patients on hemodialysis, and is associated with increased morbidity and …

Vascular access is the key part of haemodialysis (HD) treatment, as this is not possible
without a functioning access. The use of the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has fewer …

Peritoneal infections still represent a most feared complication of chronic Peritoneal Dialysis,
due to their high incidence and relevant clinical consequences, including direct mortality …

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a structured intervention on the frequency of
self-care behaviors with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) by patients on hemodialysis. This is a …

The number of elderly patients initiating hemodialysis (HD) increased considerably over the
past decade. Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred vascular access (VA) type in …

The error of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and its consequences in predialysis
are unknown. In this prospective multicentre study, 315 predialysis patients underwent …
