Abstract
This case involved a 30-year-old woman. She had exhibited a urinary abnormality during a medical check-up more than 10 years earlier, but it had been left untreated. In February 2014, she felt a scratching sensation around her eyelid and visited a local ophthalmological department in May of that year. She was treated with eye drops and ointment, but her condition did not improve, and so it was suspected that she was suffering from a disease affecting another part of her body. At the end of May, she visited a local internal medicine department, where she was diagnosed with a suspected acute kidney injury. As a result, she was referred to our hospital, where she was subsequently hospitalized. She was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease, and so peritoneal dialysis was started. The patient had previously exhibited paramenia and had been experiencing amenorrhea for the past three years. She was subsequently diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome based on blood and ultrasound examinations and was treated with Kaufmann therapy, which resulted in remission. Clinicians should be aware that amenorrhea can be caused by gynecological disease, which can often be treated, as well as renal failure when treating women of reproductive age with suspected renal failure.
