Need to figure out: Why there is hydronephrosis, and is there any significant obstruction to the flow of urine from the kidneys. The renal cysts are benign and very common. Please talk with your doctor and get appropriate followup or additional workup for the hydronephrosis.

Hi doctors. I have a two simple renal cyst and a complex cyst that was simple. The radiologist said the complex cyst has one papilla. Should have a CAT Scan now to check for cancer or wait 3 or 6 months and monitor and recheck? Is it safe to wait?
