Hello,

Please get it done doppler study of the hand to know weather catheter is patent or not. If not successful need again av fistula creation. Long term cathetors may easily prone for infections and complications. So please consider av fistula to check once again and consult with your nephrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
