This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
Few evidence-based medications to improve the primary patency of arteriovenous fistulas in patients with diabetes who require hemodialysis are available. We investigated whether proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) could improve arteriovenous fistula function through pleiotropic effects in a rat model of hyperglycemia.
