Yes, medullary sponge kidney can indeed cause bleeding and cramping; however, being pregnant will not impact upon the symptoms. The bleeding is caused from small stones formed due to the condition if enough liquids are not drunk, and cramping from the recurrent infections associated with the condition. A sufficient amount of water, as well as regular checkups for kidney infection, can prevent these symptoms.

The cortex of the kidney is the outer layer containing medullary rays (striations formed by tubules) and medullary lobules (cortical tissue).

Why at 22 weeks having spotting had test last week for kidney infection neg also have piles worried?
Well there is no easy answer to this because you have a lot of things going on at the same time. If you did not have a kidney infection or piles and were just pregnant, then it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor if you are too concerned. I would recommend that you call your OB/GYN and let him/her know if your situation and ask what they recommend for you and to keep a close eye on you since you are not sure what is going on entirely.
