Fibrinogen catabolism study of three patients with bacterial endocarditis and renal disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three patients with bacterial endocarditis who developed renal failure have been studied by means of a radiofibrinogen catabolism study. Two were studied at the time of bacteraemia and one during the subsequent "immunological phase" of circulating immune complexes. Accelerated fibrinogen catabolism was found in all cases. Intravascular coagulation may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of proliferative glomerulonephritis in such cases.

Background: Infective endocarditis occurs due to the presence of microorganisms in the endocardium or the heart valves. Nowadays, infective endocarditis is still a major cause of death with an incidence rate of 5 to 7.9 per 100,000 populations.
