AB  - Medullary  sponge  kidney  is  a  disease  involving  the  distal  nephron  that  affects  less  than  1%  of  the  general  population.  Although  present  at  birth,  it  is  not  usually  diagnosed  until  the  third  or  fourth  decade.  It  is  thought  to  occur  due  to  disruption  of  the  ureteric  bud-metanephric  mesenchyme  interface,  often  resulting  from  autosomal  dominant  mutations  in  genes  responsible  for  urogenital  development.  Kidneys  have  marked,  irregular  enlargement  of  the  medullary  and  papillary  collecting  ducts.  This  is  associated  with  diffuse  medullary  cysts,  giving  a  “Swiss  cheese”  appearance  in  these  regions.
