A member asked:
I was diagnosed with a hyodense lesion on my right kidney. is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lesion right kidney: This finding requires further characterization. If this was an ultrasound finding, then the choice is to do no further testing, vs repeat ultrasound in 4-6 months, vs undergo MRI with Gadolinium. This may be a simple cyst. Harmless. It may be a complex cyst, which is uncertain until further characterized by MRI.
