Background & Objective:
COVID-19 infection is known to affect the kidneys, potentially resulting in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). In some patients, however, renal failure may necessitate hemodialysis following a COVID-19 infection. Pneumothorax, hemothorax, cardiac arrhythmias, and endocarditis are some complications associated with Permcath insertion, a type of vascular access used in hemodialysis.
Case Presentation:
In this report, we present a 29-year-old man who suffered from endocarditis following hemodialysis treatments through a Permcath because of acute renal failure following COVID-19. Removing the large masses (3×3 cm) inside the right atrium (RA) and taking out the Permcath was completed surgically.
Conclusion:
A suitable Permcath and its accurate insertion are recommended to provide prompt AKI treatment and prevent further complications, such as endocarditis and thrombosis.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
