Management and Treatment for Medullary Sponge Kidney

Medullary Sponge Kidney is a disorder featured with the dilation of collecting ducts. In about 10% cases, the patients will develop Chronic Kidney Disease and have to seek for intense treatment. Timely and proper treatment is very necessary for the patients with Medullary Sponge Kidney.

General treatment for Medullary Sponge Kidney

Enough urinary output is helpful in eliminating the risk factors like calcium, citrate, uric acid, sodium, phosphate, etc.

Can Medullary Sponge Kidney Lead to Chronic Kidney Disease

Medullary Sponge Kidney is a congenital kidney disorder featured by dilatation of collecting ducts. Chronic Kidney Disease may occurs as many as 10% patients with the disorder.

Urinary tract infection(UTI) is the leading cause of Chronic Kidney Disease. It usually occurs in the fourth to fifth decades of life and its incidence is higher in women than men. If the patients with Medullary Sponge Kidney can not control UTIs effectively, the infection will spread to kidneys, thus resulting in kidney infection. Additionally, the frequent kidney stone can increase the incidence of UTI, urinary obstruction, etc. These problems can aggravate renal function decline. If the patients with Medullary Sponge Kidney have the following symptoms, it may imply they have developed Chronic Kidney Disease.

High blood pressure

High blood pressure is a common symptom of Chronic Kidney Disease. As the malfunctioned kidneys fail to filter extra fluid from body, a lot of fluid build up in body, thus elevating blood volume. Thus, the blood pressure will increase, mostly along with swelling in eyelids, legs and feet.

Foam in urine

In normal condition, the foams in toilet will disappear after a short while. If the foams in urine exists longer than before, the patients with Medullary Sponge Kidney should take more care about this abnormal sign. Foam in urine may be associated with protein loss in urine.

Fatigue

Fatigue in Chronic Kidney Disease may be caused by anemia. When malfunctioned kidneys can not produce enough erythropoietin which can stimulate the production of red blood cells, anemia will occur.

Leg cramp

If the patients with Medullary Sponge Kidney has longstanding leg cramp for no clear reason, they should figure out if it is caused by Chronic Kidney Disease. Kidney damage can cause low calcium level in blood, thus leading to leg cramp.
