A Rare Case of Acute Kidney Injury in an Adult Male: Coexistence of Acute Tubular Injury with Minimal Change Disease
Abstract
Minimal Change Disease (MCD) is an uncommon cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults and rarely presents as acute kidney injury (AKI). This case report describes a 58-year-old male who developed AKI in the context of MCD, confirmed through renal biopsy. His clinical course was marked by oliguric renal failure necessitating dialysis, and subsequent recovery was achieved through high-dose corticosteroids, immunosuppression with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and supportive care. This case highlights the critical role of renal biopsy in diagnosing atypical presentations of AKI in adults and underscores the therapeutic benefits of early immunosuppressive treatment
