Detailed explanation-1: -An arteriovenous (AV) fistula is the surgical connection of an artery to a vein. It creates a stable access site, and provides ample blood flow for patients undergoing long-term dialysis. An AV fistula is created during a minor outpatient procedure that is performed under local anesthesia.
Detailed explanation-2: -A hemodialysis access, or vascular access, is a way to reach the blood for hemodialysis. The access allows blood to travel through soft tubes to the dialysis machine where it is cleaned as it passes through a special filter, called a dialyzer.
Detailed explanation-3: -A thin membrane separates these two parts. Blood cells, protein and other important things remain in your blood because they are too big to pass through the membrane. Smaller waste products in the blood, such as urea, creatinine, potassium and extra fluid pass through the membrane and are washed away.
