The assesment results will guide the methods of the AVF surgery operation. In the 2nd stage, before AVF puncture firstly and 3 months after AVF operation, the contents of Following-up System of AVF include physical exam and ultrasonography detection. The results will help the nurses and doctors make a decision of the method of AVF puncture. In the 3rd stage, during the following 2 years after AVF puncture successfully, the contents include physical exam and ultrasonography detection regularly. The adequacy of hemodialysis by using AVF will be assessed by urea clearance index (Kt/V).
