Delayed Manifestation of Shunt Nephritis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Table 8

Time to renal recovery after shunt nephritis treatment versus average shunt duration.

	%	Time to renal recovery in months (range)	Average shunt duration in years; (range)
Death	8	—	4.79 (3.5–15)
Progressed to ESRD	5	—	8.75 (4–14)
Full renal recovery	37	10.8 (1–48)	4.94 (0.25–19)
Partial renal recovery	51	8.4 (0.25–72)	6.28. (0.1–20)
Total	100	9.5 (0.25–72)	5.8 (0.1–20)

Full renal recovery: complete resolution of hematuria, proteinuria, and renal dysfunction. Partial renal recovery: resolution of 1 or more of hematuria, proteinuria, and renal dysfunction but not all.
