Abstract

Mannitol-induced acute renal injury is a rare condition. We have described an adolescent case of mannitol-induced acute kidney injury during treatment of cerebral edema associated with diabetic ketoacidosis. According to our knowledge, this is the first case in the pediatric age group. A 16-year-old girl with type one diabetes mellitus was admitted to the hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis. During the second hour of the 0.9% normal saline treatment, loss of consciousness occurred. After two hours of mannitol administration, acute renal injury was developed. Renal function improved over 6 days by hemodialysis. Although effective reversal of acute kidney injury with hemodialysis, the clinical awareness of mannitol nephrotoxicity is emphasized in patient with normal renal function.
