ABSTRACT
Posttransplant diabetes mellitus, presenile deafness, and myopathy are not commonly accompanied symptoms after kidney transplant. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, sensorineural hearing loss, and severe myopathy without neuropathy after deceased donor kidney transplant. ShehadamitochondrialDNApointmutation at position 3243 (A>G), and mitochondrial diseases such as maternally inherited diabetes deafness or mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodeswere suspected.Diabetes andother symptoms following kidney transplant can often be overlooked as complications of immunosuppressants taken after kidney transplant. However, in patients without a known cause of their symptoms, appropriate examinations and consultation for other diseases, including genetic diseases, should be considered.
