NCT ID NCT04141358
First seen Mar 16, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looked at 76 adults with end-stage kidney disease to see if special ultrasound tests could predict whether a surgically created blood vessel connection (arteriovenous fistula) would work well for dialysis. The researchers measured artery stiffness and blood vessel function before and after surgery. The goal was to find out why 30-40% of these connections fail, so doctors can better plan treatments.
