Medullary Cystic Kidney Disease
Medullary cystic kidney disease is an uncommon kidney disorder in which small cysts form in the medullary region of the kidney, which over time can impair its ability to concentrate urine.
Origin: in many cases it has a hereditary component and is part of a group of slowly progressive cystic kidney diseases.
Signs that may appear: intense thirst, the need to urinate frequently, especially at night, and fatigue related to the imbalance of fluids and salts.
Professionals who assess it: the nephrologist in adults and the pediatric nephrologist in children are the ones who study this condition; the urologist may step in depending on the case. In the case of excessive urine or a family history of kidney problems, it is advisable to see one of them for a careful review.
