Medullary Sponge Kidney

This is what my kidney looks like, with the round white circles in the center.
This is what my kidney should look like, with the white part in the middle all connected.

So the other day I decided to scan myself. I had hydronephrosis (fluid build up in my kidneys) when I was pregnant, so I wanted to take a look and make sure my kidneys were doing ok. What I found was that I had Medullary Sponge Kidney!!!! This site has good info on what exactly MSK is if anyone is interested http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/379323-overview.
So no more hydronephrosis, but MSK. Hopefully this does not give me any issues.
