In this video, Dr. Damanbir Singh Chahal talks about AV Fistula (Dialysis Access) and clears some common misconceptions. π¨ββοΈπ©Ί
Many patients believe that an AV fistula can reduce creatinine levels, but that is not true. β
An AV fistula is not a treatment, it is a simple surgical procedure needed for patients who require regular dialysis. π
During the procedure, doctors connect an artery and a vein in the arm using a microsurgical technique. π¦Ύπ¬
Over the next 3β4 weeks, the vein becomes stronger and thicker, so it can safely handle dialysis needles and provide good blood flow for effective dialysis. β³πͺ
A well-matured AV fistula helps doctors perform dialysis smoothly and safely, ensuring better care for kidney patients. π
