Nephritis secondary to chronic cerebrospinal fluid - vascular shunt infection: "shunt nephritis"

Child's Brain
H L Finney, T S Roberts

Abstract

Chronic indolent shunt infection can lead to intermittent transient bacteremia and secondary deposition of immune complexes in the kidney. The infective organism is usually one of low virulence, resulting in vague symptoms and a delay in diagnosis. Resolution of the infection usually results in return of renal function to normal.
