Infective endocarditis in patients with kidney failure: Chronic dialysis and kidney transplant
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2003Physicians who treat patients with infective endocarditis (IE) are encountering a growing number of dialysis and kidney transplant patients. Both groups have 30 to 100 times higher risk of IE, with 1-year mortalities of 40% to 60%.
