Vascular access profoundly impacts the quality of care for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on hemodialysis (HD), with arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) being recommended for their superior outcomes. However, due to accessibility challenges and limited technical expertise, the use of recommended access methods is likely limited in Tanzania and other Sub-Saharan African countries. Therefore, this study aims to describe the pattern of vascular access use among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis at Muhimbili National Hospital, highlighting previous and current practices as well as potential areas for improvement.
