Abstract

Establishing and maintaining adequate vascular access is essential to providing an appropriate dialysis dose in patients with end-stage renal disease. Complications related to vascular access have a significant role in dialysis-related morbidity and mortality. The National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) clinical practice guideline for dialysis access was last updated in 2000 and provides a framework for the optimal establishment and maintenance of dialysis access, and treatment of complications related to dialysis access. This paper reviews the 2000 K/DOQI dialysis access guideline as well as updated information published subsequently.
