Dialysis access is a vital lifeline for patients with renal failure. Accessing problems can be vexing and frustrating for both physician and the patient. The aim or this retrospective study is to evaluate the complications of creating two types of orteriovenous fistulas (AVF) in a consecutive series of chronic hemod1alized patients. Methods: The analysis was performed over 108 patients (44 females and     54 males). Among         them, 57 (52.8%) had Radiocephalic (RF) Arteriovenous Fistulas and 51 (47.2%) had Brachia!                           (BF)            Artcriovenous          fistulas    (Brach1obasillc    or Brachioccphalic). We evaluated the patients for possible complications of their hemodialysis accesses by careful history taking and physical examination Results: Sixty two point nine percent of patients had at least one of the compllc.:itions like Thrombosis, Pseudoaneurysm, Infection, Hand dysfunction and heart failure. Conclusion: Diabetics and the patients who began hemodialysis with a hypertension had more complication rates. An increase in dialysis frequency is associated with more complication rate.
