Fistula care training for hemodialysis patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether teaching you how to care for your arteriovenous fistula (the dialysis access point) can improve your quality of life, comfort, and ability to manage your own care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You speak Turkish.
- You have an arteriovenous fistula (a special blood vessel connection used for dialysis).

This study teaches people on dialysis how to take better care of their fistula (the special blood vessel connection used for dialysis) to improve their quality of life. It uses simple education to help you stay healthier and feel better.
This trial tests if structured exercises can help the new blood vessel connection (AVF) in your arm mature properly for dialysis. It may improve your fistula's success and reduce complications.
This study looks at which way the needle bevel should face when starting dialysis through a new fistula. It might help reduce pain or damage to the fistula.
This study looks at the risk of a lack of blood flow (ischaemia) after creating an arteriovenous fistula, which is a small surgical connection made between an artery and a vein for dialysis. The goal is to better understand how often this problem happens and what factors might increase the risk.
This study is testing a new monitoring tool to keep an eye on the health of the fistula used for dialysis. It aims to catch problems early so you can avoid complications.
This study looks at whether blood markers and the condition of your blood vessels before surgery can predict how well a new dialysis access (fistula) will work. It aims to help doctors identify patients who may need extra care to ensure their fistula matures properly.
