| Abstract | Rationale: This case report presents a challenging medical scenario involving a young adult male who exhibited an unusual combination of symptoms, including abrupt weight loss, declining renal function, proteinuria, and concurrent onset of diabetes mellitus. Remarkably, the patient had no previous medical history or family history of similar conditions, necessitating a comprehensive investigation. Patient concerns: On March 10, 2021, a 25-year-old male sought medical attention due to the aforementioned symptoms. Initial assessments revealed stage 5 chronic kidney disease, with elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Cr) levels, as well as significant proteinuria. The only notable physical finding was obesity, and renal ultrasound showed normal-sized kidneys without cysts. Diagnosis: A treatment plan was initiated to stabilize creatinine levels, including medications such as Glimepiride, Glyxambi, Bisoprolol, Amlodipine, and Valsartan. However, despite diligent medication management, proteinuria persisted, prompting further evaluation. A renal biopsy was performed on April 12th, 2023, leading to the diagnosis of glomerulocystic kidney disease with early-stage changes indicative of diabetic nephropathy. Interventions: The patient continues to receive ongoing care and follow-up at our outpatient clinic to optimize therapeutic interventions and elucidate the underlying etiology of this complex clinical scenario. Outcomes: Ongoing investigations and therapeutic interventions are crucial to understand the underlying cause and optimize patient care in this intricate clinical scenario. Lessons: This case underscores the complexity of diagnosing and managing a young adult presenting with concurrent renal dysfunction, proteinuria, and diabetes mellitus in the absence of prior underlying conditions. It highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation and ongoing care in such challenging cases. |
