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.
Recurring kidney infections, bleeding, or stones will prompt x rays of the kidneys. The appearance of medullary sponge kidney on an intravenous pyelogram (x rays of the upper urinary system) is characteristic.

Echopeanic parenchyma with loss of cortico-medullary differentiation refers to an ultrasound finding often seen in renal imaging. This suggests increased echogenicity of the renal parenchyma, potentially indicating conditions such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, or other pathologies affecting the kidney's structure. The loss of cortico-medullary differentiation means that the distinct echogenicity between the renal cortex and medulla is diminished, which can be a sign of underlying renal dysfunction. Further clinical correlation and diagnostic evaluation are typically necessary to determine the exact cause.
Kidney stones typically do not affect the results of a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests detect the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, which is unrelated to kidney stones. However, if kidney stones cause significant symptoms or complications, it might lead to stress or hormonal changes that could indirectly influence the body, but this would not change the pregnancy test result itself. Always consult a healthcare provider for any concerns regarding pregnancy or kidney health.
