The Risk of Missing a Narrowing

Why Early Detection of AV Fistula Narrowing Matters

AV fistula stenosis (narrowing) often develops silently. Without proper monitoring, it can lead to:

Silent Narrowing

Reduced blood flow with no obvious symptoms.

Missed Warning Signs

Changes in thrill, sound, or pressure during dialysis go unnoticed.

Thrombosed AV Fistula

Complete clot formation leading to emergency procedures, hospitalization, or access loss.

Identify normal vs abnormal AV fistula sounds.
3. Check for Changes
Monitor for reduced vibration, prolonged bleeding, swelling, redness, pain during dialysis, and low flow alarms.

Maintain the Lifeline for the Lifetime

Your AV fistula is your dialysis lifeline. With proper education, daily self-examination, and early reporting of warning signs, patients can significantly reduce the risk of AV fistula thrombosis and access failure.

Because protecting your fistula today means protecting your dialysis tomorrow.

Our AV Fistula Care Workshop is about more than survival. It’s about living well. We teach the importance of exercise, diet, and self-care for AV fistulas, so you can stay healthy and positive. Plus, you’ll connect with others who truly understand and support your journey.
