Dialysis Access Treatments by Vascular Specialist in Los Angeles

We know that your vascular access is more than just a medical device—it’s your lifeline. That’s why we take a personalized approach to diagnosing and managing access-related issues. Here’s how we evaluate your access:
We’ll carefully check your access site for signs of infection, reduced blood flow, or other concerns.
This non-invasive test helps us visualize the blood flow and detect potential blockages or narrowing.
These tests measure how well your access is functioning and whether any interventions are needed.

Your vascular access is critical to your dialysis care, and we offer a range of treatment options to ensure it stays in optimal condition:

When it comes to vascular dialysis access, recognizing potential issues early can make all the difference. Here’s what to watch for.
Risk Factors
- Diabetes: Can increase the risk of vascular issues.
- Age: Older patients may face challenges with access durability.
- Poor Circulation: Underlying vascular conditions can complicate access function.
- Infections: A history of infections around the access site may increase risk.
- Repetitive Use: Frequent dialysis can place strain on the access over time.
Symptoms
- Swelling or redness around the access site.
- Pain or tenderness near the access area.
- Decreased blood flow or a change in the “thrill” (vibration) at the site.
