How to perform venipuncture from renal dialysis patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Venipuncture: It depends on the reason for the labs and the dialysis access the patient has. Most often, labs are draw during dialysis from the machine. If a fistula or graft is being used and labs are drawn outside of dialysis, its best to use the arm without the access.
