Types of dialysis access are:

Central venous catheter (CVC) – typically used as a temporary access until another more permanent access is ready for use
Arteriovenous (AV) fistula – the access most often recommended
Arteriovenous (AV) graft – the next best choice for those patients whose veins are not large enough or healthy enough for an AV fistula
Peritoneal (PD) catheter – for those who have selected peritoneal dialysis as their form of renal replacement therapy.

It is very important to maintain your access to keep it from clotting.
