US showed probable cyst in the left upper ple but cannot be made completely aechoic. and a complex smaller right upper pole lesion which is centrally echogenic and not compatible with a simple cyst.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this blood in urine and the findings on ultrasound. Hope we get to find out what the exact problem is and propose solutions to you.


The truth id that the findings of cyst and blood in urine are consistent. The next best step should be to accurately map out these lesion with more detailed examinations like MRI and CT scan, etc and some blood tests. These would tel s what the exact problem is and what the best solution to this would be. At this point, seeing a nephrologist would be the next best step.

I understand your heightened concern and fears. please, there is nothing better than identifying a problem and taking active measures to address it. don't see these findings a problem but rather see the as the major opener to addressing a problem.

I wish you well and hope this addresses your query. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to request for more information if need be.
