I assume that no nodules were present on your ultrasound. I would have to think that a renal cyst seen on ultrasound showed some atypical features and was not considered a simple cyst. Your MD, urologist or nephrologist can answer your question best.

If the ultrasound of Nov showed a simple cyst with no changes from before no need for a CT, Have the doc wanting CT explain the reason. Take care.
