Abstract
Background: Management of blood flow in arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a critical clinical issue for hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Objectives: To determine the effect of microcirculation of AVF in HD patients with photobiomodulation (PBM).
Methods: Twenty HD patients were enrolled in this study. PBM was used to radiate the palm of HD patients at a total dose of 126 J, and the microcirculatory analysis in AVF was investigated.
Results: Among the patients <65 years old, there is an increase of 2.31% and 1.37% in the average velocity and flux in AVF, respectively. This increase is higher than those observed in patients aged >65 years old. Additionally, the cumulative effect of the 830 nm laser was observed for at least 10 min, resulting in continuous increases of 3.16% in velocity and 1.59% in flux for HD patients <65 years old. On the contrary, the average velocity and flux in AVF increased in patients who had undergone HD for <6 years.
Conclusions: In this study, the age and the duration of HD treatment are the two factors that influence microcirculation in HD patients with PBM. The results suggest that PBM could be used to improve the average velocity and flux in AVF, particularly for younger patients with shorter HD treatment durations.
期刊介绍:
Asian Biomedicine: Research, Reviews and News (ISSN 1905-7415 print; 1875-855X online) is published in one volume (of 6 bimonthly issues) a year since 2007. [...]Asian Biomedicine is an international, general medical and biomedical journal that aims to publish original peer-reviewed contributions dealing with various topics in the biomedical and health sciences from basic experimental to clinical aspects. The work and authorship must be strongly affiliated with a country in Asia, or with specific importance and relevance to the Asian region. The Journal will publish reviews, original experimental studies, observational studies, technical and clinical (case) reports, practice guidelines, historical perspectives of Asian biomedicine, clinicopathological conferences, and commentaries
Asian biomedicine is intended for a broad and international audience, primarily those in the health professions including researchers, physician practitioners, basic medical scientists, dentists, educators, administrators, those in the assistive professions, such as nurses, and the many types of allied health professionals in research and health care delivery systems including those in training.
