@2011panc, good idea, I drink 60 oz a day, urine pale yellow, so hydrating ok. Neph said she thought it would be better to have the AV access and not need it than to need it and not have it.

@kamama94 From what I am reading in these posts, it sounds like most people are against the idea of a fistula graft at this time. One thing to question to your nephrologist is if their family member came to them with their doctor telling them the same thing that she is telling you, what would she advise? You have had some very good input from others of why your doctor thinks this is a good thing to do now. I'm all for handling medical issues but needless medical procedures are not in my wheelhouse! I have been stage 3b for over 5 years, eGFR ranging from 32 to 40, and would not agree to graft or port placement at this level.
