  Infective endocarditis can present as apparently primary renal disease and a fifth of our patients were referred initially to nephrologists with abnormal renal function or abnormal urinalysis. [academic.oup.com]

Adult prognosis is variable and largely related to the underlying cause, its severity, progression and response to any treatment used to modify it. [patient.info]

However, because of the toxicity of these regimens, most nephrologists reserve such treatment for those with severe nephrotic syndrome or deteriorating renal function. [enetmd.com]

There is a universal consensus among clinical physicians concerning the treatment of these types of symptoms using antimicrobial therapy ( 3, 5 ), yet there has been no definitive agreement on the use of other treatments such as surgery and steroid therapy [spandidos-publications.com]

Prognosis This is very variable depending on the underlying cause. Congenital nephrotic syndrome usually carries a very poor prognosis. Corticosteroids have reduced the mortality rate in children to around 3% [ 17 ]. [patient.info]

The prognosis is significantly influenced by proper diagnosis and adequate therapy. In cases with unconfirmed IE, besides careful clinical examination, transesophageal echocardiography is the imaging technique of choice. [link.springer.com]
