What Does Right Renal Cysts Of 13 Mm Mean?
I have had kidney stones for 22yrs several surgeries last one was just this dec 3 stones blocking urether they were crushed and had j stent in. j stent was removed dec 19th on dec 27th i had gone for a MRI for lumbar spine and report did show back problems but also read: the visualized surrounding intra-abdominal and pelvic structures demonstrate probable right renal cysts, one of which measures at least 13mm although assessment is limitied due to mortion artifact. PLS TELL ME WHAT THIS MEANS. i did speak to my urologist and he said he was not concerned as i have had several cat scans

Simple renal cysts are benign conditions that doesn't cause any pain and it doesn't become cancer. increase in size of renal cyst usually grows less than 1mm per year. Ct scan and ultrasound has a greater sensitivity to detect renal cyst that is why your urologist told you he is not concerned.
