Professor Park Hoon-seok's research team at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital won the best storytelling award at the U.S. Interventional Nephrology Research Society
Mar 26, 2025
A research team led by Professor Park Hoon-seok of Nephrology at Catholic University of Korea's Seoul St. Mary's Hospital and clinical instructor Ryu Se-young at Incheon St. Mary's Hospital recently won the 1st Place Podium Original Presentation at the 21st American Society of Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology (ASDIN) held in Texas, USA.
Professor Park's team achieved consecutive awards following last year, proving the research team's continuous academic achievements and excellence internationally.
This study was conducted under the title 'Comprehensive Analysis of Predictive Criteria for Unassisted Maturation of AVF Using Post-Operative Ultrasound Measurement: UAB vs NKF-KDOQI (comparative analysis of predictive criteria for spontaneous maturation of arteriovenous fistula using postoperative ultrasound measurements: UAB vs NKF-KDOQI)'. We compared and analyzed two guidelines (UAB and NKF-KDOQI) for predicting the maturity of arteriovenous fistula by postoperative ultrasound in 560 patients who formed arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis from 2017 to 2021.
The maturity assessment of arteriovenous fistula is directly related to the success rate of first dialysis, and accurate prediction can reduce the patient's pain and cost burden from additional procedures, which is key to patient treatment planning. As a result of the study, it was concluded that in the case of Korean patients, if the blood vessel diameter is more than 4mm and the blood flow is more than 500ml per minute, the first dialysis can be attempted without additional procedures, especially in the forearm arteriovenous fistula. This can be used as an important clinical basis for establishing treatment strategies for hemodialysis patients in the future.
Professor Park Hoon-seok said "It is very significant that domestic interventional nephrology research has been internationally recognized" and "We hope that the results of this study will be of practical help in determining the direction of treatment for hemodialysis patients in the future"
