AI Article Synopsis
- A 38-year-old Saudi patient is discussed, who has both tuberous sclerosis and chronic renal failure, a rare combination.
- This case suggests that in individuals with tuberous sclerosis, chronic renal failure is often linked to cystic renal disease rather than solely due to hamartomas.
- The findings support the need for further research into the relationship between these conditions and the mechanisms involved.
Article Abstract
A 38 year old Saudi patient with tuberous sclerosis and chronic renal failure is described. The association of these two conditions has rarely been described. This case supports the observation that when chronic renal failure occurs in patients with tuberous sclerosis, cystic renal disease (with or without hamartomas) is more likely to be the underlying cause, rather than hamartomas alone.
