When kidney function declines due to chronic kidney disease, the body cannot filter waste,
making hemodialysis to remove waste from the blood necessary.
At this time, more than 200ml of blood per minute must be sent to the machine,
but ordinary peripheral veins are too narrow with limited blood flow, making dialysis difficult.

Vascular Access Surgery

By directly connecting an artery and a vein,
a thick, strong vascular pathway is created.
It can withstand repeated needle punctures and
deliver a large, stable blood flow,
making it essential for long-term hemodialysis treatment.

The Need for Dialysis Access

Stable Dialysis

Dialysis is a lifelong treatment performed 2–3 times a week over years.
Peripheral veins are easily damaged by repeated use,
but dialysis access (AVF) can be used reliably for the long term.

Growing Patient Numbers

The number of end-stage renal disease patients increased from about 9,300 in 2010
to about 18,000 in 2022 — doubling over 12 years.

56.6% Patients Over 65

Elderly patients have narrower, weaker veins, making long-term dialysis difficult.
Stable, repeatable access is essential for consistent treatment.

Dialysis Access Management for Stable Dialysis

For long-term stable dialysis,
regular monitoring and management of the access are essential.
Regular ultrasound checks of blood flow and narrowing
can help prevent complications.

It is also important to self-check
your access condition using the guide below.

Dialysis Access Self-Check

If any of the following apply,
you need to consult a vascular specialist.

Pain is worse than usual when inserting the needle

Needle insertion during dialysis is difficult

Bleeding from needle sites does not stop easily after dialysis

Swelling in the hand, arm, or face with dialysis access

Skin color changes in the dialysis arm

Vein feels harder than usual when touched

The thrill of the vein weakens and feels like a pulse
