A successfully treated case of hypopituitarism complicated with hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state and rhabdomyolysis.

INTRODUCTION

This study aimed to report a rare case of hypopituitarism complicated with hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state and rhabdomyolysis.

CASE PRESENTATION: Hypopituitarism is a clinical syndrome in which there is a deficiency in hormone production by the pituitary gland. It often leads to hypoglycaemia, but in this case the patient was complicated with hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state. The patient received prompt medical treatment, which effectively prevented the occurrence of possible acute kidney failure and other complications.

CONCLUSION

This is a complicated and rare case. Our report provides some indications for the timely diagnosis and the standardised treatments for a patient who has hypopituitarism complicated with hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state and rhabdomyolysis.
