Approach to Patient with Arteriovenous Access Presenting with Hand Pain

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Interventional Nephrology

Abstract

A dialysis patient presenting with hand pain ipsilateral to the arteriovenous access warrants careful evaluation. In particular, ischemic monomelic neuropathy and distal hypoperfusion syndrome are two important entities that an interventional nephrologist should be familiar with. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, investigations, and management of these conditions are discussed in this chapter.
