Successful hemodialysis withdrawal with glucocorticoid treatment after achieving infection control in a case of crescentic IgA-dominant staphylococcus-associated glomerulonephritis

Key takeaways

This is a case report about one 70-year-old woman with a rare kidney infection. It describes how she recovered enough to stop dialysis. It is a single patient story, not a study with results. It shows that some people can recover from severe kidney injury, but it is not proof for everyone.
