Question 1

very good evening doctors. i had a renal mesenteric ultrasound. could you please explain what this means? cyst with septation in the lower pole 4.7 cm x 5.2 cm?" two other simple cysts one in upper pole right kidney one in upper pole left kidney?

Accepted Answer

: If the septum is thin then the cyst is still considered benign. If the septum is thick or suspicious then ultrasound should be rechecked within 6 months for any changes. At your age, the detection of 3 cysts in 2 kidneys is not uncommon. The radiologist who read the ultrasound will likely give his (her) input about if ultrasound should be rechecked or not and when. Good luck.

Question 2

simple renal cysts cholecystectormy clips underlie the liver.subchondral cysts are seen within the right humeral head and the left acetabulum?

Accepted Answer

Refer to doc...: Apparently, what you mentioned are the findings of CT or MRI scan, and most likely not clinically significant with no need to pursue active intervention at this time. For your best benefit, referring this Q to your treating doc would be most logical since s/he possesses most of your clinical information so that the clinical pertinence of the studies can be correlated.

Question 3

son has complex right renal cyst & simple left cyst. rbc & wbc in urine no bacteria, nitrite, or leukocytes, & trace amount of protein. 12 yrs old.

Accepted Answer

What is the question: I'm not sure what the question is, but if you're wondering is there an infection, the urine was probably cultured and will take a few days to return the growth of bacteria or 'colony count'. Symptoms are an important part of this evaluation as well as past history of problems.

Question 4

i was wondering are exophytic renal cysts simple or complex?

Accepted Answer

Ct: Exophytic cysts can be simple or complex .Ultrasonographer can look for clues- like septations within the cyst, which suggests complex cyst. Most often, ct imaging is done to confirm the nature of the cyst.

Question 5

what does simple renal cyst means?

Accepted Answer

Benign: Simple renal cyst is like a thin balloon filled with clear fluid. Totally harmless if not causing pain. Very common. Not to worry. If it is a "complex cyst" it needs to be followed.

Question 6

what does small renal 9mm cyst means? is this simple or complex cyst?

Accepted Answer

Likely simple: The vast majority of simple cysts require no treatment. Pain can occur especially if the cyst enlarges. Cyst sizes in patients who require intervention generally range from 5 to 20 cm. You should see your family practice physician if you are having issues.

Question 7

ultz shows left renal cyst 9mm four mos ago. today its sm cortical left cyst 0.72 x 0.84 in left inferior. does it shrinked? pls help

Accepted Answer

Maybe; measurement..: It is possible that the cyst shrunk a bit, but the dimension difference between .84 cm vs .9 cm  (2.54 cm = 1 inch) is  quite small, falling within measurement error. Thus, i would not consider this significant difference. The best assurance here is that it did not get bigger, thus not likely cancerous. This is good news. Consult doc. Good luck.

Question 8

are there any alternative therapy for renal simple cyst?

Accepted Answer

No....: Such event will stay with the patient forever. It tends to grow in size in widely variable pace over time, but usually remains silent, asymptomatic, until the occasional occurrence of its rare superimposed infection or bleeding. Experience proved no practical need to intervene but for rare occasions as just described above + possible size-related pain. There is no magic pill around for it.

Question 9

what  food should i avoid to shrink the small renal cyst in my left kidney?

Accepted Answer

No relation: There is no known correlation between food and renal cysts.

Question 10

what is a 1.2 cm proteinaceous cyst right lower pole kidney posteriorly? what is 1.2 left lower pole renal cyst?

Accepted Answer

: Renal cysts ;there are several varieties those that appear to be pre-cancerous, which are usually the septated or lobulated ones. Benign renal cyst are usually hollow or filled with fluid and circular without any complexity. Consultation with urologist is indicated to determine if a renal cyst is serious or not or needs further evaluation.
