Are Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels Related to Flow through Autologous Aterio-Venous Fistulae for Chronic Haemodialysis?
Formation of arterio-venous-fistulae (AVF) may exacerbate cardiac failure in the ever increasing, elderly population on haemodialysis. Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) may prove a useful marker of cardiac failure in this population. We aimed to determine effect of creation of an AVF and flow in AVF o...
