Unrelated: Usually those 2 cysts are unrelated, however if the renal cyst is complex then a follow dedicated ct or ultrasound of the kidney should be done in 3-6 months to confirm stability.

Usually unrelated: Liver and kidney cysts are common. A complex cyst anywhere needs to be properly worked up, usually with short interval (3-6 month) followup, although comparing the ct to the us in this case may provide more information about how to proceed.

How often are renal cysts found on CT? I am 36 and told through CT scan w/ contrast that I have a "low density" 6mm lesion on my kidney that they believe is a cyst but too small to characterize. Ultrasound after saw nothing. What does this mean?

Read that most liver and kidney cysts appear in people over age 50, so why do I have them at age 35?? (found incidentally on CT scan)

4.2 cm renal cyst with no other finding on ultrasound. All blood and urine tests for kidney are normal. Urologists did not mention complex or simple. Why? Just cyst. But recommended CT scan. Mother 65 yrs?
