What Does Report Showing Inter Polar Cyst In Right Kidney And Prostatomegaly Mean?

Dear sir,
Recently my Father-in-law(FIL) saw the Heart doc for ByPass related surgery. Doctor suggested to go for "Ultra Sound Abdomen" and "Dopler study of renal arteries" first as my FIL has very high BP(200/100).
"Ultra Sound Abdomen" report says "Inter Polar cyst measuring 12 MM noted in the right kidney" and "Prostatomegaly". I am worried, what does it mean? Your guidance is highly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Cyst in the kidney and high blood pressure is suggestive of the damage caused by the high blood pressure.

High blood pressure in the kidney can cause damage on the renal calyces and can cause cyst.

It requires surgical correction. Further management of the blood pressure can also prevent further damage to the kidney.

Prostatomegaly means enlarged prostate. Enlarged prostate occurs usually with being prostatic hypertrophy. This needs to be confirm with the PSA level in the blood. It will be higher on the carcinoma of the prostate.

If its carcinoma it needs to be managed as per the malignancy.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
