Abstract excerpt

We report a 23-year-old male with kidney failure secondary to childhood Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis who presented with sepsis, severe lactic acidosis, and encephalopathy. Following stabilization of the acute condition with Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration, a diagnosis of Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes (MELAS) was confirmed by muscle biopsy and the...
