Abstract

The hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) is a serious acute complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus that requires prompt recognition, diagnosis, and treatment. Reversible acute kidney injury is common in hyperglycemic states. However, hyperglycemic emergencies can contribute to the development of rhabdomyolysis, which can further aggravate acute kidney injury and can cause high morbidity and mortality. HHS can be the first clinical presentation of diabetes mellitus in some patients. Here, we present a case of HHS-related rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury, which was the first presentation of type 2 diabetes mellitus in this patient. Our case highlights the importance of a rare association between rhabdomyolysis and HHS in diabetic patients.
