Dialysis access graft

A dialysis access graft is a surgically created pathway that connects an artery and a vein using a synthetic tube, usually made of soft, durable material. This allows blood to flow out of the body to a dialysis machine for cleaning and then back into the body. The graft provides a reliable and quick access point for frequent dialysis treatments in patients whose own veins are too weak or damaged for traditional access methods. It is typically used when other access options are not suitable, helping patients maintain effective kidney support.
