A high red blood cell distribution width predicts failure of arteriovenous fistula

A Research for Predictive Value of Hemogram Parameters at Late Term Arteriovenous Fistula Thrombosis Formation

“…Furthermore, Usman et al determined that NLR and RDW values are associated with the development of fistula thrombosis in their study that consists of 150 patients (15) . These outcomes have been corroborated by Bojakowski et al (16) . They conducted a retrospective study aiming to determine the potential risk factors for late term AVF thrombosis and found RDW and NLR values directly related.…”

Post‐operative arterio‐venous fistula blood flow influences primary and secondary patency following access surgery

“…Inherent haematological and inflammatory factors could also be important, with a postulated link between elevated inflammatory markers, white cell count and red cell width on thrombogenesis in early AVF failure (Bojakowski et al . ).…”

Red cell distribution width to platelet ratio, a useful indicator of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis patients

“…The RDW has been shown to be an independent marker of mortality in multiple cardiovascular diseases and interventions (such as percutaneous coronary interventions), renal, and infectious disease [1][2][3][4]. Recent studies show that RDW values are significantly increased in hepatitis B patients and RDW is an independent 3-month mortality risk predictor in this population [5][6][7].…”
