ABSTRACT
Medullary sponge kidney or Cacchi
Ricci disease is a malformation that
affects the distal nephron, characterized
by the dilation of the medullary and
papillary portions of the collecting
ducts. The majority of cases are sporadic,
with dominant autonomic inheritance
in only 5%1. The clinical picture and
prognosis are usually indolent, however,
it may be associated with urinary tract
infections, nephrolithiasis and, less
frequently, hematuria and low back
pain. We present below the case of a
patient with persistent macrohematuria
of 9 years of evolution, with multiple
inconclusive studies during those years,
with a final diagnosis of medullary
sponge kidney.
