Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Nitric oxide (NO) is a pivotal vasoactive substance modulating arteriovenous fistula (AVF) patency for hemodialysis (HD). Since genetic background could be the predicting factor of AVF malfunction, we aimed to investigate whether the NO-related genotype polymorphisms determine AVF survival rates. METHODS: This is a retrospective, observational, multi-center study involving eight HD units in Taiwan,...
