Hello
Usually we start dialysis via temporary catheter for our patients and continue dialysis via the same until the fistula is ready. We use antibiotic lock solution in the catheter.
Some centres put temporary catheter, then change to permanent catheter untill fistula is ready.
Max wait time for fistula maturation- 1.5 months
If fistula is not maturing, then you can go for permanent catheter. It is safe.
Permanent catheter life can be as long as even one year, if handled properly. Life of catheter depends on handling of the catheter by the staff and patient.
