Should I Be Concerned About Multiple Lesions In My Kidney?

I recently had an MRI done for leg numbness and pain also very limited movement to lift my right leg, I have an appointment this coming wk with an ortho Dr. shows some bulging and minor tear in L3-4 plus alot of other things. Also what concerns me more is evaluated lesions at the right kidney, which when I was called with the MRI results this was not mentioned. My father had a kidney remove because of cancer , should I be concaened and should I insist on follow up care.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Before that I want to know the description of the lesion in the kidney. Please ask your radiologist for a detailed description. If it is a simple cyst or a simple renal calcification or stone you need not to bother. Otherwise depending on the size of the lesion you will need follow-up. What exactly is the type of renal cancer which effected your father? There is a chance of you getting similar one depends on the type.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Susmitha Chandragiri
