Abstract

Shunt nephritis is an immune complex-mediated
glomerulonephritis, with deposits in the glomerular
capillaries which saturate the reticuloendothelial
system, causing activation of the
complement cascade and chronic inflammatory
which leads to renal injury. The clinical diagnosis
of infection is not easy, it is caused by low
pathogenic germs that cause chronic infection,
and however, the cultures can be negative. We
present a case of shunt - nephritis, after two
years of atrial ventricle valve placement with
confirmation by renal biopsy and subsequent
resolution after valve removal. The cultures of
patient and valve were negative.
