small right renal cyst and suggestive non-obstructing nephrolithiasis. normal study of left kidney and urinary bladder.
IS THIS ABNORMALITY IN MY RIGHT KIDNEY A great cause for concern now? i will see a urologist tomorrow.
i had uti last week. post-treatment urinalysis: 25-30/hpf pus cells. had urine culture and sensitivity test - no result yet.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The small right renal cyst is a bubble like fluid filled structure and is not a cause for concern.
Nephrolithiasis is stones in kidney. Size is not mentioned but they have written that it is not causing any obstruction. In this situation, there is a small chance of the stone growing or getting stuck in the urinary tract, but this is not going to happen soon.
Your UTI might be because of other reasons. Please drink enought of water and use washroom regularly. A course of antibiotic is needed after checking for culture and sensitivity.
Hope this helps
