What Does Simple Cyst In Right Kidney And Echogenicity Along The Wall Of Left Kidney Indicate?

I am a 40yr old male. I recently had a renal ultrasound and the findings were the right kidney measured 11.6 cm in length. At the junction of the upper to midpole of the right kidney is a 1.3 cm simple cyst. The left kidney measured 12.4 cm in length. At the inferior pole is a 8 mm cystic structure that contains a punctate area of increased echogenicity along its wall making it complicated.. What does that mean and should I be concerned
