U.S., Nov. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07238855) titled 'Effect of Isometric Hand Grip Exercises Using a Dynamometer on AV Fistula Maturation and Patency in Hemodialysis Patients' on Nov. 16.
Brief Summary: Patients with chronic kidney failure who require hemodialysis depend on a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein in the arm, known as an arteriovenous fistula. This connection allows blood to flow at a high enough rate for effective hemodialysis treatment. However, many arteriovenous fistulas do not enlarge or strengthen adequately after surgery, a process known as maturation. When maturation fails, the fistula may not provide enough blood flow, leading to delays in...
