Hi...Check your fistula daily
Avoid putting pressure on your fistula by:
1) Not sleeping or resting on your fistula
2) Not wearing tight clothes or jewelry around your fistula
3) Not carrying bags or heavy objects across your fistula
4) Can ride bike. But shouldn't put pressure on the arm
For routine blood tests, ask for your blood to be taken from your other arm (whichever arm does not have your fistula in it).
