Acute AVF occlusion may reduce sympathetic activity in kidney transplant recipients; leaves open whether closure improves long-term outcomes.
Does acute AVF occlusion decrease sympathetic activity and improve baroreflex control in kidney transplanted patients?
Acute AVF occlusion in kidney transplant patients significantly increases blood pressure and baroreflex sensitivity while decreasing heart rate and muscle sympathetic nerve activity.
Velez‐Roa et al. (2004) studied this question.
