Objective To discuss the key nursing points for patients with infective endocarditis and congenital isolated kidney after valve replacement. Methods In December 2012, one infective endocarditis patient with isolated kidney underwent heart valve replacement in our hospital. In addition to actively preventing postoperative infection of the heart valve, our nursing focused mainly on the isolated kidney protection and monitoring, and the related complications. Results The surgery was successful, and the isolated kidney was effectively protected. The patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Conclusion For patients with congenital isolated kidney with infective endocarditis, patients' urine output per hour and 24 h discrepancy quantity should be closely observed after valve replacement surgery. It is also very important to intervene early and carry out comprehensive protection of the renal function.
