Color Doppler Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) near me in Mumbai

The Color Doppler Upper Limb for AV fistula is an ultrasound test done to assess the blood flow in the blood vessels (veins and arteries) of the arm (upper limb). This imaging technique is widely used in patients with kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis.

Color Doppler shows the colored images of the blood vessels, indicating the direction and speed of the blood flow. This imaging test is used to guide the placement of an artificial arteriovenous (AV) fistula during the hemodialysis process, as it helps create high-resolution images of the blood vessels. Color Doppler is the only imaging technique that shows functional and structural aspects of the blood vessels and is used to aid the appropriate and hassle-free placement of the AV fistula.
