Medullary cystic kidney disease is an autosomal dominant kidney disorder characterized by cysts in both kidneys and tubulointerstitial sclerosis leading to end-stage renal disease. The kidney disease nephronophthisis is in the classification of this disorder. Importantly, cysts are found in the medullary collecting ducts, which results in a shrunken kidney, unlike that of polycystic kidney disease.

Medullary cystic kidney disease has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.
