Autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for long-term hemodialysis, and thrombosis is one of the most common complications. In recent years, it has been found that neutrophil extra-cellular traps (NETs) play an important role in thrombosis. NETs are a kind of network structure with DNA as a skeleton and intercalated with a variety of granule proteins, proteolytic enzymes, antimicrobial peptides and histone proteins, which are released into the extracellular space by neutrophils after stimulation. In this paper, the NETs in the role of AVF thrombus formation and NETs in the value of prevention and cure of AVF thrombus complications were reviewed.

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...
