No : Simple kidney cysts are more common as people age: ~25% people age 40 and 50% of people >age 50 years have simple kidney cysts. Most cysts are found during imaging tests done for other reasons and usually cause no symptoms or harm to the kidneys. No rx needed. Eating, diet, and nutrition have not been shown to play any role in causing, preventing, or treating simple kidney cysts.
