Acute kidney injury presentation with recurrent hypoglycemia: A detailed case report of high-risk patients

Hamed E

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and hypoglycemia are independent risk factors for morbidity and mortality with a robust association. We present a case report of AKI related to hypoglycemia during a diabetic patient. Following standard AKI treatment protocol, kidney functions recovered, and therefore the patient had no further hypoglycemic attacks. AKI in diabetic patients might be multifactorial, but we propose the presenting symptom to the first care centre in our case was the recurrent hypoglycemic attacks which may have been overlooked by clinicians.While the association is well established in hospital settings, presentation in medical care settings with hypoglycemia is usually overlooked. This case report aims to spotlight the danger for AKI in diabetic and elderly patients with multiple risk factors
