Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease with Acute Pyelonephritis due to Multi-drug Resistant Staphylococcus D Group and Candida albicans
نویسنده
چکیده
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common hereditary kidney disease caused due to a mutation in PKD1 gene and the PKD2 gene located at chromosome level 16 and chromosome 4. ADPKD often leads to progressive kidney (renal) failure, primarily due to continued enlargement of the cysts and replacement of normal kidney tissue. The present case is of a 70-year-old male diabetic patient with ADPKD along with acute pyelonephritis caused by multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus D group and Candida albicans, treated with a new antibiotic adjuvant entity ceftriaxone/sulbactam/disodium edetate, and fluconazole recovered completely.
