Race/Ethnicity, Dietary Acid Load, and Risk of End-Stage Renal Disease among US Adults with Chronic Kidney Disease.

abstract：:Bacterial endocarditis, particularly involving the left side, has been shown to occur in patients in regular hemodialysis. We report a case of right-sided endocarditis characterized by a very torpid evolution. Although the diagnosis was suspected early in the course, confirmation was obtained 2 months after the onset....
