Abstract

We report a 13-year-old female with rapid-onset obesity, hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation, and autonomic dysregulation (ROHHAD) syndrome, panhypopituitarism, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, who developed rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury, two weeks after switching from lovastatin to rosuvastatin. She had been on lovastatin for eight years without any adverse effects.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest All the authors have no con-flicts of interest to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 National Lipid Association.
