A young male with kidney damage from genetic mitochondrial disease: case report and literature review

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This is a report of a single young man whose kidneys were damaged by an inherited mitochondrial disease, a problem in the tiny energy factories inside our cells. One person's case can show what is possible, but it cannot prove how common the problem is or how to treat it.
