Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effects of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and central venous catheters (CVCs) on the left ventricular function (LVF) and prognosis of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 270 patients (139 with AVF and 131 with CVC) undergoing dialysis with newly established vascular access in the blood purification center of Nanhua hospital, University of South China, from January 2019 to April 2021. Dialysis efficiencies, LVF indexes, and one-year prognoses were compared. Results: At six and twelve months after the establishment of vascular access, the mean urea clearances (Kt/V) and urea reduction ratio (URR) between the AVF- and the CVC-group were similar (P>0.05). The mean LVF values between the two groups were also similar before the establishment of vascular access (P>0.05), but the mean values of left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd), interventricular septal thickness (IVSTd), and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) in the AVF-group were higher than those in the CVC-group one year later, and mean early (E) and late (A) diastolic mitral velocities, E/A, and ejection fraction (EF) were lower than those in the CVC-group (P<0.05). The incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy and systolic dysfunction in the AVF-group was higher than that in the CVC-group (P<0.05). The hospitalization rate of AVF-group (23.02%) was lower than that of the CVC-group (49.61%) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Both AVF and CVC can achieve appropriate dialysis effects in MHD patients. AVF has a negative impact on cardiac function while CVC has a high hospitalization rate. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.3.7151 How to cite this: He X, Liu Y.
