Healthcare-associated infections are a major risk to patient safety.
Infection is the first cause of hospitalisation and the second most common
cause of mortality among haemodialysis (HD) patients. HD patients, as well as
the dialysis staff, are vulnerable to contracting healthcare-associated
infections due to frequent and prolonged exposures to many possible
contaminants in the dialysis environment. The extracorporeal nature of t ...

Percutaneous renal biopsy with sonographic guidance is the standard by which renal tissue is sampled. In patients with uncorrectable coagulopathy or other contra-indication, percutaneous biopsy may not be feasible and a transvenous approach is preferred. This method limits the risk of bleeding complications as tissue is obtained endovascularly without transgression of the renal capsule. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF), a well-documented complication of percutaneous biopsy, has yet to be reported whe...
