Description
Summary:Medical conditions such as the nutcracker phenomenon, midgut malrotation, and congenital solitary kidney are rare. Hereby, we present a 21-year-old South Asian male referred to the nephrology clinic for hypertension and increased serum creatinine and was diagnosed with all three conditions. We briefly reviewed the literature on this subject. We present this case report to highlight the complex interplay of multiple renal and gastrointestinal anomalies and to emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in patient care to optimize outcomes and quality of life.
