<unk>  is a congenital disorder of the kidneys characterized by cystic dilatation of the collecting tubules in one or both kidneys. Individuals with<unk>  are at increased risk for kidney stones and urinary tract infection (UTI). Patients with<unk>  typically pass twice as many stones per year as do other stone formers without<unk> . While having a low morbidity rate, as many as 10% of patients with<unk>  have an increased risk of morbidity associated with frequent stones and UTIs. While many patients report increased chronic kidney pain, the source of the pain, when a UTI or blockage is not present, is unclear at this time. Renal colic (flank and back pain) is present in 55% of patients. Women with<unk>  experience more stones, UTIs, and complications than men.<unk>  was previously believed not to be hereditary but there is more evidence coming forth that may indicate otherwise.
