medullary cystic disease

Familial juvenile nephrophthisis, Senior-Loken syndrome Nephrology A group of AD and, less commonly AR, renal diseases characterized by renal cysts located at the corticomedullary junction in a background of scarring; MCD presents as functional tubular defects and Fanconi syndrome associated with azotemia, uremia and high-output renal failure 3-5 yrs after onset Clinical Retarded growth, renal osteodystrophy, tapetoretinal degeneration Lab Salt wasting, ↓ Na+, acidosis with hyperchloremia

Medullary cystic kidney disease is an autosomal dominant condition with age-dependent penetrance than can lead to ESRD at any point from the third to the seventh decade of life.
Cystic diseases of the kidney: molecular biology and genetics
Background: Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) is clinically indistinguishable from several other autosomal-dominant renal diseases; thus, molecular genetic testing is needed to establish a definitive diagnosis.
Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) is a progressive tubulointerstitial nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and need for dialysis or kidney transplantation.[1] MCKD occurs in adulthood with a variable age of onset, ranging from 20 to 70 years within and between families.[2],[3] The manifestations of MCKD are highly variable and nonspecific.
