A clinical research paper in which the primary supervisor participated in research design, analysis, and writing has been cited in UpToDate. [Arteriovenous fistula creation for hemodialysis and its complications] The study describes the practice and outcomes in Japanese patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease who have undergone vascular shunting (AVF) surgery at stage 5. Our paper served as the basis for the author’s opinion that patients with renal failure should be referred to a vascular access surgeon when vascular access is considered necessary, especially around the estimated GFR of 5-15 ml/min/m2. The paper was published in 2017, and we feel deeply moved that three years after that, the UpToDate author cited the paper with the thought that it would serve as a reference for clinical decisions.
