Acute kidney injury with cast nephropathy following creatine loading in a 17-year-old.
This case highlights a 17-year-old male who developed acute kidney injury (AKI) with cast nephropathy following a 6-day high-dose creatine loading regimen. The patient presented with bilateral flank pain, a parallel rise in cystatin C and creatinine, and kidney enlargement on ultrasound despite adequate hydration and the absence of rhabdomyolysis markers. Renal biopsy confirmed cast nephropathy without evidence of light chain disease. This case underscores the potential risks of high-dose creatine use in adolescents and highlights the importance of kidney function monitoring in athletes using sports supplements.
