We report two patients with PMM2-CDG who developed end stage renal disease (ESRD). Renal abnormalities of clinical significance have only been reported in about 6% of patients with PMM2-CDG and have rarely been reported as the cause of death. Given the recurrent episodes of acute kidney injury associated with hospital admissions and the accelerated development of ESRD thereafter in our two patients, we recommend proactively involving Nephrology early in the care of these patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
