Q: Can SLEDD (sustained low-efficiency daily dialysis) be done via AV fistula?


Answer:  Yes.

One advantage of SLEDD over CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy) is that it can be done over AV fistula - and placement of dialysis catheter is not required.

  1. both SLEDD and CRRT should be done through AV fistula if it's present already
