Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients must have a normal vascular access confirmed by ultrasound prior to participation. Participants will first receive hemodialysis using metal cannulas for 6 consecutive sessions over 2-3 weeks, depending on their individual dialysis frequency. After the initial phase, participants will undergo a second ultrasound assessment of their vascular access.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Active Skin Disease: Patients with active skin lesions that have been assessed by the researcher and deemed at risk for infection due to cannulation for hemodialysis. Withdrawal or Termination Criteria 1.Cannulation Failure 1.1 Inability to cannulate due to infiltrative injury or new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis. 1.2 Inability to cannulate with plastic cannulas is one of the outcomes being compared between the two types of cannulas, as outlined in Secondary Objective 2, which focuses on the success rates of cannulation. 1.3 New AVF stenosis is an additional outcome, aligning with Secondary Objective 3, which specifically compares infiltrative injuries between groups to assess the safety of both types of cannulas, infiltrative injury and new AVF stenosis. 2. Inability to Complete the Study, Participants who cannot complete the study duration as required.
