do i need surgery?

Accepted Answer

Not for the cyst: All results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Solitary renal cysts are not uncommon.

Question 2

whats a lower pole cyst in the kidney? and how does it get treated?

Accepted Answer

The lower pole: Is the lower portion of the affected kidney.  An isolated cyst, if small and no renal compromise is identified is typically just an incidental finding during a scan (ct or ultrasound) for something else and just needs to be periodically observed, but not treated.

Question 4

A : A cyst in the kidney is not always cancer.  In fact most renal cysts are benign and not cancerous.  Most people with renal cysts have no symptoms.  Hope that info helps.

Question 5

i have a 5mm cyst in midpole of rt kidney posteriorly and 2.5 mm hypodensity in lower pole as well. asymptomatic. is there cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: A small kidney cyst is of no concern.  The 2.5mm "hypodensity" is likely an additional tiny cyst that is simply too small to diagnose accurately as a cyst on CT.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Please, rephrase: Info that you sent are not worrisome. But, to get a good answer, resend question. Age & sex are included, you don't need to mention them. Focus on one topic that has no answer to you. Note the limit of space. Left kidney is normally little bigger than right one.  A few simple cysts are usually not a concern.

Question 7

what is the meaning for a cyst measuring 1.7 cm x1.5cm noted in the lower pole of the left kidney, whether it is curable or non-curable details please?

Accepted Answer

No cure ...: Most likely, the cyst of left kidney is a common incidental finding found while being evaluated with CT/MRI for abdominal pain or backache, will stay with you forever, and most times requires no Rx / intervention if a simple cyst is well defined. If not, periodic US for follow-up may be required. As to how often the F/U is needed, ask Doc for detail timely. Remember Doc have never cured anyone but

Accepted Answer
