Abstract:
Schmidt's syndrome constitutes Addison's disease in conjunction with autoimmune hypothyroidism or type 1 diabetes mellitus. It has misleading symptomology and an unclear order of presentation of symptoms. This often results in missed and late diagnosis. Chronic kidney disease is a rarely reported phenomenon in Schmidt's syndrome. Multiple factors may have the potential to cause renal failure, such as Addison's disease and/or hypothyroidism, the understanding of which is still evolving. A 45-year-old gentleman who is a known case of Schmidt's syndrome presented to us with fatigue, anorexia, and weight gain. Further evaluation revealed a picture of chronic kidney disease. We would like to alert fellow peers of this potential complication and the importance of screening as well as timely diagnosis.
