Article Synopsis
- The study examined kidney issues in 117 adults with mitochondrial disease by tracking urinary levels of retinol-binding protein (RBP) and albumin to assess tubular and glomerular dysfunction.
- Among the participants, those with the m.3243A>G mutation showed higher urinary RBP and albumin levels, particularly in diabetic patients, but no significant variation was found across the major clinical phenotypes like MELAS, MIDD, and MERRF.
- Although serum creatinine levels were normal, abnormalities like low sodium (hyponatremia), phosphate (hypophosphatemia), and magnesium (hypomagnesemia) were seen, indicating that kidney dysfunction is prevalent in mitochondrial disease patients,
