INTRODUCTION
Neonatal proteinuria and hematuria while not common can be detrimental to the health of the neonate.
Although nephrogenesis is complete in humans by 36 weeks of gestation, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is
approximately 10-20 ml/min/1.73m. Demonstrating the immaturity of the kidney. Premature infants have an even
lower GFR. Can be due to genetic causes, structural abnormalities, infections or immune mediated. Severity of
proteinuria can vary based on the etiology and will determine the clinical presentation in the neonate. Normal protein
excretion in a full term neonate is 68-309 mg/m/24hrs [ 2-4]
Newborn jaundice is a yellowing of a baby’s skin and eyes. Newborn jaundice is a very common and can
occur when babies have a high level of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during normal breakdown of red blood
cells. New born jaundice goes away on its own as a newborn jaundice goes away on the baby begins to feed, which
helps bilirubin pass through the body. In most cases, jaundice will disappear within 2-3 weeks. Jaundice that
persists longer than 3 weeks may be a symptoms of an underlying condition.
