Zusammenfassung:The gold standard vascular access for hemodialysis is the arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Venous hypertension (VH) is an unusual complication of AVF, which can be misdiagnosed as cellulitis due to the similarities in clinical presentation. Here we present a case of venous hypertension in a 40-years-old gentleman, who presented with progressive pain and swelling of three lateral fingers of his left hand without other inflammatory signs after a year of AVF creation. Further evaluation with a duplex scan supported the clinical diagnosis of VH. He had undergone a surgical ligation of AVF and completely recovered from the symptoms.
