About this trial
This is a proof-of-concept single-centre prospective longitudinal interventional study performed in AVF patients under HD treatment at the Nephrology and Dialysis Department of the ASST-Papa Giovanni XXIII (Bergamo, Italy), involving the recording of AVF sounds by the AVF-MONITOR wearable prototype device.
Participants will undergo a screening and enrollment visit, then follow-up visits for AVF sounds registration will be conducted once a week for all participants, prior to dialysis session, over a period of 8 weeks.
