Have thick veins all around my fistula, and thick vein on the back of my hand, was advised by a renal doctor not to worry about them, that it was an aneurysm of the fistula, use to be on dialysis, received a kidney transplant nearly a year ago. Am getting a lot of cramps in my hand, where the fistula is located.
Since you have started the Xmas holidays, very difficult to get a surgeon to have a look at it, will have to wait till the first week of new year 2012.
Any suggestions for those cramps in my hand?

I think just because its a pain to get a good AV fistula and you don't want to do anything to compromise it. They also aren't allowed to sleep on that arm, lift things with that arm, etc.

An AV fistula has proven to be the best kind of vascular access for people whose veins are large enough, not only because it lasts longer but it is also less likely than other types of access to form clots or become infected.
