Core Tip
Core Tip: A prospective observational study is done to show preoperative parameters and histopathology of the vessels can also tell the outcome of arteriovenous fistula. This study will increase the horizon of readers of the journal to think in this direction, and will help to prognosticate end-stage renal disease patients post arteriovenous fistula.
