Is MCDK a inherited condition?
No - is it a sporadic condition in almost all cases, unlike polycystic kidney disease.
Does MCDK occur in isolation or with other anomalies?
Nearly 50% have other urological amonalies. The following are associated abnormalities: vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), ureteral ectopia, vesicureteric junction (VUJ) obstruction and ureterocoele.
Atrophic left kidney; it measures about 4 X 2 cm in its main orthogonal dimensions. It shows multiple, non-communicating cysts with no appreciated renal parenchyma.
Compensatory hypertrophy of the right kidney is seen. Mild dilatation of the right pelvicalyceal system and ureter; likely due to diuresis by furosemide injection, however no significant hydroureteronephrosis is seen.
