Despite initial treatment with antibiotics and a short course of corticosteroids, the kidney function further deteriorated, and plasmapheresis was introduced as third-line therapy to remove circulating immune complexes. Following 7 treatment sessions, the patient recovered kidney function. We discuss the potential merit of plasmapheresis for patients with subacute bacterial endocarditis who develop ICGN.en-USNephrologysubacute endocarditisStreptococcus mutansimmune complexproliferative glomerulonephritisplasma exchangeJournal Article2017-12-0610.5414/CNCS109082
