Vascular access for haemodialysis for renal failure in a developing country. 1982

E D Yeboah, and D Adu, and Y Anim-Addo, and J K Quartey, and A K Foli

One thousand two hundred and thirty-five haemodialyses have been performed on 92 patients with renal failure. The mean number of dialyses per patient was 13.42 and the survival rate was 60.9%. One hundred and six arteriovenous shunts (98 of arm, 7 of ankle, and one of groin) were created. Three arteriovenous fistulae of arm were created in 2 patients with chronic renal failure. All the operations were performed under local or regional block anaesthesia. The mean shunt complications were clotting (27.4%), bleeding (17.9%) and infection (13.2%). The complications associated with the fistulae were non-function, heart failure, infection, aneurysmal dilatation and bleeding. One death from heart failure was attributable to arteriovenous fistula. It is recommended that patients with renal failure requiring haemodialysis in developing countries should have shunts or fistulae created under regional anaesthesia to avoid the problems of general anaesthesia in uraemic patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
