ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the risk of hand problems, known as ischaemia, that can occur after a specific surgery called an arteriovenous fistula creation. This surgery is often needed for patients with severe kidney disease, particularly those who require dialysis. The researchers want to understand how certain changes in blood vessels and other clinical factors might be linked to these problems in the short or medium term after the surgery.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have stage 5 chronic kidney disease, whether or not they are on dialysis. They should also need an arteriovenous fistula for treatment. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, so it’s important to keep an eye on updates if someone is interested. Participants will be monitored and expected to attend scheduled visits to help researchers gather important information. Potential participants should be aware that those with certain medical conditions or who are pregnant will not be eligible for the study.
