Description
Foong-Fah Leong and five co-authors test whether ultrasound measures can predict which dialysis patients with high venous pressure will need an invasive fix. Their retrospective study was published in twenty twenty-four. Pressure problems threaten the access site that dialysis depends on.
Seventy-two patients with high venous pressure had duplex ultrasound scans. Twenty-six were managed conservatively and forty-six went on to invasive treatment. A flow-to-pressure ratio, raw flow, and pressure readings were compared between groups. Statistical models hunted predictors, and a threshold analysis sought the best cut-off for the ratio. Three months on, access failure was rare in the conservative group. A reliable cut-off could spare stable patients unneeded procedures.
