@entity5409 is characterized by progressive @entity1986 with medullary cyst formation and secondary @entity8 . We treated a @entity1 with @entity177 and investigated the family history of @entity8 . The @entity1 , an 18-year-old @entity1 , was admitted due to poor appetite and @entity1295 for several months. Findings on physical examination were normal except for a pale conjunctiva. Urinalysis revealed only mild @entity644 with clear sediment. The hemogram showed normocytic normochromic @entity417 with hemoglobin 86 g/L. The @entity1 was azotemic and her @entity1011 clearance rate was 10.7 mL/min. Renal sonography showed contraction of both kidneys with a marked increase in cortical echogenicity. One small cyst was found in the medullary area. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed several medullary cysts. Percutaneous renal biopsy showed focal and periglomerular @entity1463 , marked @entity194 , and @entity82 . Ten of her family members were examined for renal function, and by sonography and CT. Five had medullary cysts, and three of the five showed @entity8 . @entity13703 should be considered in the differential diagnosis of @entity1 with @entity8 and a positive family history.

XXXX : a family study.
