Abstract:
Infection is a common, serious and costly complication in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and has been the major cause of high mortality in these patients. Increased evidences suggest that prophylaxis can significantly decrease the prevalence of infections in CRF patients, such as tuberculosis, S. aureus infection and hepatitis virus induced liver diseases. It remains an important issue for clinical nephrologists to investigate and to provide strategies for prevention and treatment of various infections in CRF patients.
