The AV Fistula Doppler ultrasound at Sooriya Diagnostic, Kathmandu, is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure specifically designed to assess the function and patency of arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, commonly used for patients undergoing hemodialysis. This ultrasound utilizes high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the fistula and surrounding blood vessels, allowing healthcare providers to monitor blood flow and identify any potential issues like stenosis, blockages, or poor flow.

An AV fistula is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, typically used for hemodialysis patients to facilitate easy access to the bloodstream. Over time, the fistula can develop complications, and the Doppler ultrasound helps evaluate these changes. The test is essential for monitoring the fistula’s effectiveness, preventing clots or narrowing of the vessels, and ensuring the continued success of dialysis treatments.

The AV Fistula Doppler is highly recommended for patients with a history of hemodialysis, providing early detection of any problems that could impair the fistula’s function. This early detection enables timely intervention to maintain optimal dialysis access and improve patient outcomes.

At Sooriya Diagnostic, we use advanced Doppler ultrasound technology and a team of skilled radiologists to provide accurate and reliable results, ensuring the best care for patients with AV fistulas.
