A member asked:
I have an adrenal cyst on my left kidney.docs in washington says its fine ansays there is no need for surgery even so will ny metabolism be affected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Is the cyst in your kidney or adrenal gland? Either way cysts shouldn't affect the functioning of either organ, unless they are very big or in very large numbers -- neither of which sounds like the case here.
