  Background: Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF)is the ideal method of vascular access for patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD).Therefore it is an important part of treatment in HD.There are several observations that indicate the role of inflammation in failure of AVF.The aim of this study was to evaluate the hematologic and inflammatory biomarkers in early AVF failure.

  Methods : This case-control study included 110 ESRD patients,whom were undergone AVF creation, divided in two groups. About 700 radius-cephalic AVF were created during these two years. We found 55 cases with AVF failure. In this study, we compared those 55failures with 55 functional AVF which were selected using randomized sampling from the rest of patients according to age, gender, and AVF location.Levels of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were checked in both groups to evaluate the relation between AVF failure and CRP level before surgery.

  Results : The mean±SD age of the patients was 49.7±17.28years. CRP was positive in 34 patients (61.8%)with unsuccessful fistula function,while only 4 (7.3%)of those with successful AVF had positive CRP and the resthad negative CRP.The difference between the two groups of patients was strongly significant (p<0.001). Statistically, there was not any significant difference between the average of age (p: 0.580) of patients in the control and experimental groups. However, the gender (p: 0.832) discrepancies was not meaningful between the groups.

  Conclusion :AVF thrombosis is one of the main complications after AVF creation.Therefore,it is recommended to check CRP before AVF surgery to prevent possible failure of the fistulafunction.
