Tuberous sclerosis complex (TCS) is a genetic disorder with a variable clinical presentation. It is commonly characterized by seizures, mental retardation and cutaneous angiofibromas. Renal manifestations frequently include angiomyolipomas and cysts which lead to chronic kidney disease. We report a case of valproic acid-induced acute pancreatitis in a dialysis patient affected by TCS. The case demonstrates the importance of assessing antiepileptic drug treatment in dialysis patients. © 2012 Società Italiana di Nefrologia.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TCS) is a genetic disorder with a variable clinical presentation. It is commonly characterized by seizures, mental retardation and cutaneous angiofibromas. Renal manifestations frequently include angiomyolipomas and cysts which lead to chronic kidney disease. We report a case of valproic acid-induced acute pancreatitis in a dialysis patient affected by TCS. The case demonstrates the importance of assessing antiepileptic drug treatment in dialysis patients. © 2012 Società Italiana di Nefrologia.File in questo prodotto:
