It is not exactly known what percentage of the population is affected but there are more women than men effected.

More women than men. Known to be congenital, possibly genetic (being researched over time). A congenital defect is formed while in utero. I'm unsure of the exact percentage in the world but it is very slim.

prevalence of about 1/5,000 population. It is usually asymptomatic but can present with hematuria, urinary tract infections (UTIs), or renal stone formation. The age of presentation is usually 20 to 30 years old but more and more people are being found that have been passing kidneystones from a younger age as well as the even more rare few that have the misfortune of passing stones as a baby

MSK affects about one person per 5,000 people in the United States. 12-20% of people who develop calcium based kidney stones have Cacchi-Ricci Disease. Woman are more likely than men to have this rare kidney disease.
