While chronic cannabis use may further accelerate kidney decline, no previous reports have described rapid progression to ESRD in a young patient with MODY, obesity, hypertension, and cannabinoid hyperemesis, as presented here.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A 24-year-old man with class II obesity, uncontrolled presumed MODY, CKD stage 5, diabetic gastroparesis, hypertension, and chronic marijuana use was diagnosed with MODY at age 18 after hospitalization for cannabinoid hyperemesis and Boerhaave syndrome. Despite insulin and metformin therapy, he experienced recurrent hypertensive crises and AKI with progressive renal decline. Over 70\u202fmonths, the patient experienced progressive renal and metabolic deterioration. Serum creatinine increased from 0.9 to 10.8\u202fmg\/dL (mean 2.92), with eGFR declining from 115.98 to 4.69\u202fmL\/min\/1.73\u202fm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      (mean 52.75). Glycemic control was suboptimal (mean HbA1c 9.79%, range 6.5\u201312.1%). Urine microalbumin increased from 1.2 to 138, and the microalbumin\/creatinine ratio increased from 32 to 931. BMI increased from 22.4 to 37.9\u202fkg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      , and toxicology screens were consistently positive for cannabinoids. Insulin aspart was initiated 1\u202fmonth after presentation. By month 13, enalapril and scheduled prandial insulin were added; the secondary hypertension workup was negative despite suppressing aldosterone and low-normal renin. At month 30, enalapril was replaced with carvedilol and amlodipine, with increased renin but persistently suppressed aldosterone; imaging showed preserved EF, mild pulmonary hypertension, and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. Hydralazine was added at month 34. By month 70, sitagliptin and sevelamer were initiated for diabetes and hyperphosphatemia (phosphorus 7.7\u202fmg\/dL), with persistently suppressed aldosterone (&amp;lt;1) and renin
