A member asked:

Does a hypoechcoic mass on my kidney mean cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypoechoic: Not likely but let your kidney specialist examine you and decide whether to give you more or less medications. If that is not helping you will be referred to a non- kidney specialist for further work up and management. Please keep me informed.
