Hello Dr. Agar, I am on daily nocturnal HHD. 7-8 hours each night, six nights a week. For the last 5 days, I have been getting a low grade fever (99 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit) about 2 hours after closing my dialysis session. The fever last for about 1-2 hours and subsides without any medication. The rest of the day I am totally fine. I had my ‘weekly off dialysis night’ on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning there was no fever! Any suggestions on what could be wrong? Thanks! -Kamal ---

Kamal … I would be suspicious re endocarditis … see your nephrologist, get blood cultures and a CRP, and see whether he thinks an echo - either a TTE or a TOE would be wise. Do NOT ignore this … ---

As Nearlt 2 months have passed since Kamal’s first post, I guess all is sorted here. ---

Yes it is Dr. Agar. We started doing some tests but in a few days the fever just disappeared. Thanks for your tips though! ---

> [@John\_Agar](#): > > endocarditis My wife has similar pattern of feverish feelings like burning body but no fever usually after dialysis (Hemodialysis at hospital twice a week) followed by whole body pain. It stays for 12-18hrs and goes away on its own. At times paracetamol tablets were taken for bodyache… this pattern continued for last 3-4 months, nephrologist has no clue. She is using catheter on her right chest for dialysis for last 9 months. Nephrologist has done CRP test followed by 2D echo along with few more blood tests but nothing indicate sign of sepsis or infection. For last 2 weeks , pattern is changed ,now not only the dialysis day but other days also feverish ,burning sensation is occurring , just today i checked , she has light fever first 99.7 followed by 100.3 so I had given her paracetamol 650mg for fever. ---

I have asked the question in a separate thread so as not to mix this up with old thread. Sorry for trouble
