In The Lancet, Turgay Saritas and colleagues report a case with the valuable reminder that chronic low-grade infection of an implanted device can lead to glomerulonephritis. This complication was first described 50 years ago in patients with implanted cerebral shunts, so-called shunt nephritis, 2 but in this case was associated with a newer and increasingly widely used implanted device, the left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
