Early-onset juvenile nephronophthisis presents rapidly in infants, leading to end-stage renal failure. This study describes three such cases, highlighting potential congenital hepatic fibrosis links in this rare pediatric condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Genetics
  • Rare Diseases

Background:

  • Juvenile nephronophthisis (JN) is a leading genetic cause of pediatric end-stage renal disease.
  • Typically, JN manifests later in childhood or adolescence.
  • Early-onset presentations with rapid progression are less commonly described.

Observation:

  • Three infants presented with failure to thrive, dehydration, and renal concentrating defects shortly after birth.
  • Renal failure was diagnosed within the first year of life in all three cases.
  • Two infants had a concurrent diagnosis of congenital hepatic fibrosis.

Findings:

  • This report details the earliest known cases of juvenile nephronophthisis with rapid progression to renal failure.
  • Consanguinity was present in the parents of the affected infants.

  • A family history of JN was absent, but one sibling had died in infancy.

    • Implications:

    • These findings suggest that juvenile nephronophthisis can present much earlier than previously recognized.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention may be crucial for managing this severe pediatric kidney disease.
    • The association with congenital hepatic fibrosis warrants further investigation in early-onset JN cases.
