Popis: Urgent hemodialysis (HD) in patients with uremia is usually performed using a central vein catheter unless an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) was created in the predialysis period. We present a unique approach, in a patient in whom the first two HD sessions were conducted without implantation of a catheter or AVF. The perfectly developed peripheral veins of a professional bodybuilder served as vascular access allowing catheter insertion to be avoided. The aim of this short case report is to recall a forgotten method for performing urgent HD in patients without a fistula, but with suitably enlarged superficial veins.
