How safe is a central venus catheter for hemodialysis?

Fairly safe: When access by peripheral vessels is not possible CVP catheter access is routinely used, and fairly safe. Yes in few cases will have manageable complications. Speak to your doctor.

Catheters: They are useful because they can offer a HD dialysis in a patient when needed right away. But would not suggest that be the longer term access, getting a permanent access such as a AV fistulae is the way to go. All plastics gets infected, it is a matter of time. So while very useful short term, aim for a permanent access. Talk to your Kidney doc if there is ESRD and dialysis will be permanent .

Not very: All sorts of problems with these catheters including clotting infection is the worst Get a permanent access ASAP try for a fistula
