About

The goal of this trial is to investigate the prognostic value of monitoring finger blood pressures (FBPs) in predicting the success of surgically created arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for patients with end stage renal disease. The main questions it aims to answer is:

Can FBPs predict AVF maturation?

Participants will undergo FBP measurements at pre-op, immediately post-op, 4 weeks and 6 weeks post-AVF creation.
