We report a patient suffering from end‐stage renal disease ( ESRD ) because of lupus nephritis presented with exhausted vascular access after multiple arteriovenous grafts creation and hemodialysis catheters insertion. A rare percutaneous transrenal approach was finally used for the insertion of dialysis catheter. After 2 years, this hemodialysis catheter was complicated by blockage but was successfully replaced by a new catheter via the same site. Our report shows that the transrenal route of hemodialysis catheter insertion can provide a glimpse of hope for those ESRD patients with exhausted vascular access.
