Retransplantation in a patient with type 2 Jeune's syndrome.
Jeune's syndrome is a rare inherited cause of kidney failure associated with skeletal dysplasia in children. We report the case of a 20-year-old girl who had Jeune's syndrome type 2 and underwent a second kidney transplant after failure of the first allograft. The patient had 16 years of good allograft function with the first transplant and successfully received a second cadaveric graft.
