Medullary Sponge Kidney (MSK) looks exotic, but it’s actually an easy score if you know what the examiner wants.

In this video, Dr Manu breaks down MSK in a clear, visual way for USMLE, MRCP and NEET/EMREE aspirants.

We cover:

What “medullary sponge” really means – congenital cystic dilatation of medullary collecting ducts

Why these dilated ducts cause nephrocalcinosis, distal RTA, hypocitraturia and recurrent calcium stones

Typical presentation: young adult with recurrent renal stones, hematuria, flank pain or recurrent UTIs

Classic imaging clues and differentials (MSK vs medullary nephrocalcinosis)

Long‑term course – usually benign but with higher stone burden, and how we prevent further stones (hydration, citrate, treating UTIs)

High‑yield one‑liners you can plug directly into MCQs and viva answers
