Abstract:
Renal lymphangiectasia is one of the rarest surgical complications in post-transplant kidney patients. A few patients may clinically complain of nonspecific symptoms, and the other few might be diagnosed incidentally. We report the case of a 32-year-old female patient with a known case of Joubert syndrome who presented with nonspecific clinical manifestations. The patient underwent ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine (NM) imaging to confirm the diagnosis, which showed radiologic features of renal lymphangiectasia. Conservative medical management was delivered to the patient.

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Kidney
Bloody Supply to the Kidneys:
The kidneys receive their blood supply from the renal arteries, which branch off from the abdominal aorta—the main artery supplying the abdomen and lower body. The renal arteries enter the kidneys at the hilum, a notch on the medial side of...
Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...
