A family is presented in which four and possibly five members of a sibship of seven are affected with polycystic kidney with congenital hepatic fibrosis. The excretory urogram in this disease may be indistinguishable from that of medullary sponge kidneys. Therefore, it is suggested that family studies be undertaken when a diagnosis of medullary sponge kidney is made.
现报道一个家系，该家系中7个同胞兄弟姐妹中有4个甚至可能5个患有多囊肾合并先天性肝纤维化。这种疾病的排泄性尿路造影可能与髓质海绵肾的造影无法区分。因此，建议在诊断为髓质海绵肾时进行家系研究。
