چکیده
Methods: : The study included 31 HD patients with AVF thrombosis and 51 HD patients without AVF thrombosis. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the patient and control groups. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods were used to identify the polymorphisms. Results: : There were no significant differences between HD patients with and without AVF thrombosis in terms of Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin G20210A mutations. PAI-1 4G allele in heterozygous state have an effect on the thrombosis risk in HD patients (O.R= 4.271). Conclusions: : Only carrying PAI-1 4G/5G genotype had an additional risk for thrombosis in HD patients.
