The correlation of uric acid serum level and arterio-venous fistula failure in patients with ESRD. J Pharm Biomed Sci. 2014; 04(09):813-817. Available at www.jpbms.info Methods: In this descriptive-cross sectional analysis. We studied 140 patients with ESRD, who were hemodialyzed via AVF during 3.5 years retrospectively. Their demographic characteristics, smoking, duration of HD, history of previous AVF insertion also lab data like uric acid, lipid profile, blood sugar, albumin, urea, creatinine and dialysis efficacy were recorded for further analysis. Results: Twenty seven(27) patients had previous history of fistula failure. Mean serum uric acid level in patients with and without AVF failure was 8.05±1.78 and 6.50±1.15mg/dl respectively (P= 0.001).Cholesterol level in patients with and without AVF failure was 186.81±56.80 and 173 ±31.98 mg/ dl respectively and difference was not significant (P=0.09). Conclusion: It seems that serum uric acid level is an important factor for AVF failures, so its control is recommended in ESRD patients. KEYWORDS: ESRD; Hemodialysis; AVF.
