What Could Be Done With The Cyst In Kidney?
I am a healthy 56 year old Male. I had an abdominal ultrasound due to an elevated LFT. The left kidney contained a mid pole cyst measuring 0.9 X 1.1 X 1.1 cm. Right kidney measured 11.6 X 5.1 X 5.0 cm. Left kidney measured 12.3 X 5.2 X 4.6 cm. Spleen was normal. What would you do about cyst?
