Question 1

upper quadrant pain. spleen borderline size 12.1cm, mild bilateral pelviectasis of kidneys. minimal r-side hydronephrosis. peripelvic cyst. normal?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Pelviectasis is a general term used to describe dilation of the renal pelvis, or collecting system of the kidney and, generally, is clinically insignificant. 
Hydronephrosis also refers to dilation of the renal pelvis, But has the added connotation that the pathology was caused by an obstructive process, such as a kidney stone or in your case the peripelvic cyst of Rt kidney. Unremarkable finding.

Polycystic kidneys?: There is a condition called polycystic kidney disease in which there are multiple cysts within the substance of the kidneys. They may not be detectable early in life, but as one gets older, the cysts grow and may become more numerous.

Question 8

im 35 yrs of age and diagnose with septated cyst between the spleen and upper pole of the left kidney is it too bad and need to undergo operation?

Accepted Answer

CYST: The size and presummed origin of the cyst determine the nature of the problem. A septation places it into a different category if it's from the kidney but it is still very likely to be benign and unlikely to cause symptoms unless it grows. The key is the thickness of the wall and if there is blood flow or calcifications seen in the walls or septum. These are in a more serious category.

Question 9

us said 6mm hypoechoic area in inferior aspect of left kidney probably cyst.urologist said to repeat in a year.what is it and is it ok to wait a year?

Accepted Answer

More than ok...: Remember the fact: despite medical advance, all the care is still based on indirect evidence resulting from continual collection and analysis of available experience; there is no magic in medicine, if any, that is, to apply currently available knowledge, technology, skill, drug, common sense, and wisdom at reasonable time and way to reasonable patient. So, repeating us in a yr is more than okay.

Accepted Answer

Likely..: unfortunately, any solid kidney lesion is suspect for neoplasm until removed and examined by the pathologist
