Routinely check for and report to your nephrology team (surgeon, doctor or nurse) any of the following:
- A change in colour, temperature or sensation (numbness or tingling) and pain in the hand of your graft arm (or foot of your graft leg)
- An increase in swelling, pain or redness on your arm (or graft leg) and the presence of any fluid leaking from your incision
- Fevers, chill or loss of thrill
- Bleeding that occurs from your graft when you are not in the dialysis unit
- Needle sites that are not healing
- Your surgeon or nephrology team member will give you other important instructions
