A child with nephrotic syndrome following an episode of diarrhoea presented with acute kidney injury with a creatinine of 4.5 . All of the following are possible reasons except?: (A) Renal vein thrombosis, (B) Diarroea water deplection, (C) Frusemide, (D) Steroid induced diabetes
Answer is D. Coicosteroids are used to reduce harmful inflammation but can lead to diabetes - often referred to as steroid diabetes. People on steroids who are already at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes or those who need to take steroids for longer periods of time are the most susceptible to developing steroid induced diabetes.
