Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Substantial proportions of autogenous arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for hemodialysis access fail to mature for unclear reasons. AVFs develop in a large mass of surrounding adipose tissue that is increasingly recognized as an active participant in the vascular response to injury via paracrine and endocrine mechanisms. We thus hypothesized that baseline phenotypic characteristics of the adipose tissue...
