QUEST study compares quality of dialysis in different european countries. In evaluating hemodialysis duration and frequency, it was found that slovenian dialysis is of the longest duration. Time on dialysis is one of the most important paremater of diylsis quality

IN retrospective clinical study with prospective follow-up preoperative mapping of blood vessels (both arms and forearms) before arteriovenous fistula construction in elderly patients was analyzed. It was found that construction of arteriovenous fistula is possible in the majority of elderly patients, with no significant difference according to sex or diabetes status.

Vascular access in slovenian patients treated by chronic hemodialysis for 30 years or more were analyzed. Although the majority of patients were dialyzed through native arteriovenous fistula, long-term hemodialysis survival was possible to achieve with combined use of PTFE graft and hemodialysis catheters.

The aim of our study was to compare kidney graft function and survival between patients with a functional AVF at 1 year after-transplantation with those having a nonfunctional AVF. This historical cohort study included 311 kidney transplant recipients between January 2000 and December 2008 with a functional AVF at the time of transplantation. In conclusion, the persistence of a functional AVF was associated with a lower eGFR at 1 year after-transplantation and an increased risk for future allograft loss.
