• Failure to Thrive

  Nephronophthisis-medullary cystic disease In children, this disorder can lead to a failure to thrive, growth retardation, bone deformities, or muscle spasms caused by low calcium. Juveniles may have poor bone formation and neurologic abnormalities. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  Common findings include a failure to thrive and weakness. Anorexia, nausea, pruritus, bone pain, and neurologic symptoms herald ESRD. Because of salt wasting, hypertension is rare, except in the infantile form of nephronophthisis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Unilateral or bilateral nephrectomy is performed in cases of respiratory compromise in neonates or when failure to thrive is present. Dialysis and transplantation are treatments of choice in end stage renal disease. [lecturio.com]

• Kidney Failure

  CONCLUSION: MUC1 mutation results in progressive chronic kidney failure with a bland urinary sediment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Although dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment, people with kidney failure may also be able to undergo a kidney transplant. MCKD leads to end-stage renal disease — in other words kidney failure will occur eventually. [healthline.com]

  As the disease progresses, kidney failure develops. Treatment may involve taking medicines and diet changes, limiting foods containing phosphorus and potassium. You may need dialysis and a kidney transplant. [nlm.nih.gov]

• Polyuria

  The first sign of MCKD is polyuria; later, the clinical findings relate to renal insufficiency. Originally, NPH and MCKD were considered separate entities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Nephronophthisis and autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease cause inability to concentrate urine (with polydipsia and polyuria), sodium wasting, anemia, and ESRD. [merckmanuals.com]

  There is no recognized gender predilection Presentation with polydipsia and polyuria, due to initial tubular injury, tends to progress to end stage renal failure, growth retardation, lethargy. [radiopaedia.org]

  Symptoms typically appear at an average age of 28 years and may include polyuria (excessive production or passage of urine) and low urinary osmolality (decreased concentration) in the first morning urine. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

Treatment for MCKD MCKD is a slow, progressive disease. There is no cure. Treatment aims to manage the symptoms and decrease the risk of complications. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

Therefore, it may represent a treatment of choice in MCKD1 patients with ESRD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lifelong treatment may control the symptoms of chronic kidney disease. [mountsinai.org]

Treatment for MCKD may include correction of water and electrolyte imbalances, and dialysis followed by renal transplantation for end-stage renal failure. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

Outlook (Prognosis) The age at which people with ADTKD reach end-stage kidney disease varies, depending on the form of the disease. It can be as young as in the teens or in older adulthood. [mountsinai.org]

Treat associated renal failure - usually haemodialysis followed by renal transplantation (the illness does not recur in the transplanted kidney). [ 1, 2 ] Prognosis Most children will develop renal failure by mean age of 13 years. [patient.info]
