Dialysis study questions need for routine access checks

NCT ID NCT05906550

First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looked at whether it is safe to stop regularly checking the blood flow in dialysis access points (like fistulas or grafts) when there are no symptoms. Instead, doctors would only treat blockages when they cause problems during dialysis. The goal was to see if this approach reduces the number of procedures and medical costs. The study involved 375 adults with kidney failure who were on dialysis.
