Abstract:
Jeune syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, particularly a narrow, bell-shaped chest, leading to severe respiratory distress in newborns. This case report details a full-term female neonate presenting with significant respiratory challenges, typical skeletal features, and early-onset renal dysfunction. Despite normal initial imaging, persistent renal abnormalities were observed, underscoring the need for early diagnosis, vigilant monitoring, and a multidisciplinary management approach to optimize outcomes for patients with Jeune syndrome.

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
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...
