A member asked:

My mom has bumps on her arms from dialysis?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Access: You may be referring to the patient's arterio venous graft. This is used to allow the dialysis to be performed. It is where the needles are placed into the patient so that blood can be removed, cleaned and processed, and then returned to the patient.
