What factors affect vein regeneration after injury or vascular access? QUESTION: I remember hearing a few AVA conventions ago that when a vein is damaged in some patients (like those with chronic kidney disease) they don't heal? Is the same true for non-chronic kidney disease patients? If they do heal, how soon after the infiltration? ANSWER: There are many factors involved with vein health and whether or not a vein will regenerate after injury. The typical injuries we see with vascular access and infusion therapy are infiltration, inflammation/phlebitis, and thrombosis. Each can occur independently or together. Infiltration results from small openings in the vein wall that may be caused from over pressurization, as when an occluded peripheral catheter is flushed with force to break through the obstruction. Infiltration often occurs in the hours after that event, but the vein may recover. If the injury is extensive enough scar tissue develops, the vein produces another layer and may never recover. Phlebitis and thrombosis are frequently found together. When inflammation exists, the body strives to cover or patch the area with blood cells. Survival of the vein depends on how extensive the patch or thrombosis. The body’s natural processes work to dissolve clots. In the case of chronic kidney disease, those dissolving enzymes may not be functioning properly and the clot size increases causing the vein to obstruct. Complete obstruction more often causes death of the vein. If blood flow is strong enough against the obstruction, new collateral vein pathways may develop. In all of these instances there are many factors contributing to or preventing regeneration of the vein and many variable patient factors.
