Abstract

Upper limb gangrene is uncommon compared to lower limb gangrene. But digital gangrene is seen occasionally in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Of the various causes described, atherosclerosis, diabetic vascular disease, following AV fistula surgery were few of the causes. Herein, we report a case of development of early digital gangrene following AV fistula in a patient on maintenance hemodialysis.
