Your Lifeline for Safe & Long-Term Dialysis

At RENACARE Kidney Care, we understand that reliable dialysis access is critical for every patient undergoing hemodialysis. That’s why we specialise in the creation, care, and maintenance of Arteriovenous (AV) Fistulas — considered the gold standard for long-term dialysis access.

What is an AV Fistula?

An AV Fistula is a surgical connection made between an artery and a vein, usually in the arm, allowing high blood flow necessary for efficient hemodialysis. Once matured, it provides a durable and safe access point with fewer complications compared to catheters or grafts.

Why Choose an AV Fistula?

• Longest Lifespan of all dialysis access types

• Lower Risk of infection and clotting

• Better Dialysis Efficiency due to higher blood flow

• Fewer Hospital Visits and reduced interventions over time

• Natural Connection (uses your blood vessels, no synthetic material)
