Abstract
The principal conditions for which vascular access are indicated, and in the management of which a urological surgeon may be involved, are acute and chronic renal failure. This chapter concentrates primarily on this topic but will also mention briefly other circumstances in which more prolonged intravenous access is required for longterm intravenous nutritional support and the administration of cytotoxic drugs into large central veins.
