Acute renal failure in a diabetic patient.
We report the case of a young insulin-dependent diabetic patient in whom acute renal failure led to detection of ureterohydronephrosis secondary to neurogenic bladder. The persistence of a high daily urine volume revealed diabetes insipidus, suggesting Wolfram syndrome, which was confirmed by the diagnosis of optic atrophy. The main features of Wolfram syndrome, particularly urologic ones, and their treatment are discussed in the light of our findings in this patient.
