I ve few liver cysts, do i need a repeat ultra sound or repeat ct scan? in order to establish if its polycystic liver disease or something eles?thanks

Liver cysts: No further studies needed now. Liver cysts are quite common and usually benign. To be sure I would get a liver function panel. If normal I would get one more liver ultrasound 6months to a year later and if there is no change, no further assessment is necessary.
