    A 24-year-old male with suspected MODY, obesity, and uncontrolled hypertension advanced to end-stage renal disease within five years of diagnosis.

    The patient's renal function deteriorated significantly, with serum creatinine rising from 0.9 to 10.8 mg/dL and eGFR declining from 115.98 to 4.69 mL/min/1.73 m².

    Despite treatment with insulin and metformin, the patient's glycemic control remained poor, with a mean HbA1c of 9.79% over the study period.

    Chronic cannabis use contributed to recurrent acute kidney injury and exacerbated the patient's renal decline, leading to prerenal azotemia.

    This case highlights the urgent need for early identification and comprehensive management of patients at high risk for rapid renal deterioration.
