Abstract :	[en] The peripheral artery disease is frequent among patients undergoing hemodialysis much more than in the general population. The ankle-brachial index (AB!) is a potent tool to screen this pathology. We analysed the relationship between ABI abnormal values and arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) complications such as stenosis and thrombosis among chronically hemodialysis pat ients (HD).
