Association of Genetic Polymorphisms of Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System-Related Genes with Arterio-Venous Fistula Malfunction in Hemodialysis Patients

Association of Genetic Polymorphisms of Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System-Related Genes with Arterio-Venous Fistula Malfunction in Hemodialysis Patients

Hemodialysis (HD) is the most commonly-used renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease worldwide. Arterio-venous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of choice for HD patients with lowest risk of infection and thrombosis. In addition to environmental factors, genetic factors...
