Medullary cystic kidney disease

Definition:

Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) is an autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial nephropathy that causes renal salt wasting and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Two types of MCKD are recognized (MCKD1 and MCKD2) according to the responsible genes and the onset of ESKD. MUC1 gene for MCKD1 and UMOD gene for MCKD2 have been identified as causative genes. The timing of the onset of ESKD is during the fifth to sixth decades of life in MCKD1 and about the third decade in MCKD2. Recently, new terminology using the term autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) has been proposed, and MCKD is encompassed by it.
