[|Human|] I have recently seen a Kidney Specialist and she says that I probably have something called Medullary Cystic Kidney Disease Type 1 Stage 2, but we cant be sure without doing a biopsy, and I am extremely worried because she also said that the only treatment available would be a transplant within the next 5 to 6 years, is there anything else that can be done?
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. You have been suspected to have Medullary Cystic Kidney Disease type 1. This is a kidney-specific disorder. It is characterized by slowly progressive tubulo-interstitial disease that leads to end-stage renal disease (ESD) and the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation. The diagnosis can be confirmed only on doing a kidney biopsy and few tests. It being a progressive disease one may land in Chronic Renal failure over a long period and may need Renal Transplant. Unfortunately there is no treatment for permanent cure. One has to monitor hypertension and renal function under observation of a qualified Nephrologist Chat Doctor.
