A 77-year-old man was found to have multiple pulmonary amyloidoma and arteriovenous (AV) fistula of the lungs. Massive deposits of amyloid were present in the vascular wall, which apparently caused the fistula.

Background and Objectives: Arteriovenous fistula is a popular vascular access method for surgical treatment of hemodialysis patients. The method, however, is associated with a high rate of early failure varying in the range of 20-60%. Predicting early Arteriovenous fistula failure and its risk factors can help reduce its incidence, its hospitalization rate, and associated costs. In this study, ...

The efficiency of haemodialysis treatment relies on a functional status of vascular access. A vascular access makes life-saving haemodialysis treatments possible. The efficiency of haemodialysis treatment relies on a functional status of vascular access. The purpose of this review was to discuss the role of haemodialysis and vascular access in end stage kidney disease. Vascular access and its r...

Introduction: The number of people with diabetes is increasing in every country. Recent estimates put the prevalence at 8.3% of adults, with a predicted rise to 10.1 in 2035 [1]. Although less than 1% of patients with diabetes require definitive haemodialysis, this still represents a significant number who may require arteriovenous fistula creation. Presentation: We report a case of IMN occurri...
