Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adult patients aged 18 years to 75 yrs of age with stage 4 or 5 CKD. Patients with systolic B.P. more than 100 mmHg Suitable vascular anatomy confirmed by doppler usg arterial and venous diameter more than 2 mm. Stable cardiovascular status No history of previous AV fistula creation in intended arm

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Previous vascular surgery on target arm Inadequate arteries or veins for fistula creation (eg: severe stenosis, occlusion, calcification). H/O injection or blood sampling or injection in the arm where av fistula is to be created Patients with connective tissue disorders , vasculitis. BMIs below 18.5 or above 29.9 Pregnant and breastfeeding women were not allowed to participate Peripheral vascular diseases in the intended arm. Severe uncontrolled comorbidities like: heart failure, coagulopathy, bleeding disorders, severe diabetes with advanced neuropathy or poor wound healing.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the patency rate of AVFs at 6 weeks between patients receiving perioperative LMWH and those not receiving LMWH. Timepoint: 6 weeks after surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the incidence of early AVF thrombosis (within 30 days) in both groups. To evaluate & compare perioperative bleeding & hematoma formation associated with LMWH use. To determine the need for re-intervention within 3 months after AVF creation. To compare patency at 3 months between the two groups. To assess access-related infections within the first 3 months postoperatively. To evaluate serious adverse events or complications associated with perioperative LMWH. Timepoint: . Early thrombosis within 4 weeks of surgery . Other complications in 12 weeks of surgery
