Field M, Tullett K, Khawaja A, Jones R, Inston N
J Vasc Access . 2019 May; 21(1):19-25. PMID: 31081441
Quality improvement initiatives should be aimed to enhance clinical outcomes, service delivery and quality of life for patients. For patients reliant on haemodialysis, vascular access is a lifeline. Survival differences...

Clin Kidney J . 2015 Sep; 8(5):590-3. PMID: 26413286
Background: Renal replacement therapy using dialysis has evolved dramatically over recent years with an improvement in patient survival. With this increased longevity, a cohort of patients are in the precarious...

Field M, Dronavalli V, Mistry P, Drayson M, Ready A, Cobbold M, et al.
Clin Transplant . 2014 May; 28(7):808-15. PMID: 24801162
Background: Deceased kidney donors are increasingly "marginal," and many have risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) that may impact on subsequent renal transplant outcome. Despite this, determining the presence...
