Infective spondylodiscitis is a rare disease. Infective spondylodiscitis should be considered in hemodialysis patients who present with prolonged back pain with or without fever. Non-contrast MRI is an appropriate diagnostic tool for this condition. Vascular access infection increases the risk for infective spondylodiscitis in hemodialysis patients. A review of the literature indicated that the common risk factors for infective spondylodiscitis are intravenous drug use, uncontrolled or poorly controlled DM, complications from catheter-associated infections, infective endocarditis, prior spinal surgery, and immunocompromised status. Patients on maintenance HD are exposed to additional risks due to the need for repetitive puncture of the arteriovenous shunt, long-term indwelling of a central venous catheter or Gore-Tex graft, and contamination of the dialysate storage or distribution system . We report 2 cases of infective spondylodiscitis in chronic kidney diseas...
