Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Receiving urgent hemodialysis (HD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients significantly increases morbidity and mortality. We aimed to explore the factors involved in the development of urgent hemodialysis in patients on maintenance HD and to compare clinical differences between patients with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and permanent tunelled catheter.
