Abstract
Background and Aim: Kidney biopsies are seldom performed these days in neonates,
especially after the advent of advanced antenatal imaging and the widespread availability of
genetic studies.
Case Presentation: We described a newborn with kidney failure, for whom a biopsy was
conducted, leading to a diagnosis of glomerulo cystic kidney disease.
Conclusion: Sporadic glomerulocystic kidney disease can manifest as renal failure during
the newborn period. Renal biopsy may be used to diagnose glomerulocystic kidney disease
in this setting.
