Infantile cystinosis and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 1986

A Ammenti, and A Grossi, and S Bernasconi

A 13-month-old infant was admitted to our Institution because of difficult metabolic control of diabetes mellitus. Clinical and laboratory findings revealed that the child was affected by both insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and nephropathic cystinosis. Treatment with indomethacin was associated with growth improvement at an early stage of renal insufficiency, but not in more advanced renal failure.

D003554	Cystinosis	A metabolic disease characterized by the defective transport of CYSTINE across the lysosomal membrane due to mutation of a membrane protein cystinosin. This results in cystine accumulation and crystallization in the cells causing widespread tissue damage. In the KIDNEY, nephropathic cystinosis is a common cause of RENAL FANCONI SYNDROME.

D003922	Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1	A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
