Medullary Sponge Kidney

ثبت نشده
چکیده

Medullary sponge kidney (MSK) is a congenital disorder that can affect one or both kidneys, or only part of one kidney. There are ectatic and cystic changes of the medullary and papillary collecting ducts. This cystic dilatation of tubules may have an effect on urinary flow. Cysts can be 1-7 mm in diameter. Cyst formation is commonly associated with the development of small calculi within the cyst. The rest of the kidney is usually normal unless affected by complications such as pyelonephritis or obstruction secondary to renal calculi.
