Vascular Access Profile of End Stage Renal Disease Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis: Experience from a Tertiary Care Center of Bangladesh

Background: A well-functioning vascular access (VA) is essential to provide efficient hemodialysis (HD) therapy. There are 3 main types of access: arterio-venous fistula (AVF), arterio-venous graft (AVG) and central venous catheter (temporary or permanent). The aim of our study was to find vascular access profile of ESRD patients on maintenance hemodialysis in a tertiary care hospital
