What Does This Ultrasound Report Signify?

my helper's ultrasound result: normal sized kidneys with cortical cyst and peluiectasia on the right. Fluid filled anechoic focus measuring 1.7x1.5x1.6cm is seen in the inferior aspect of the right kidney. Is this something serious? How is this treated?

Urologist,  's  Response
You have renal cyst and thus looks like a simple cyst which usually does not cause any issue unless the size is really big, and at this stage I suggest you need not take any active treatment for the cyst but have a followup every year with an ultrasound test and intervene if it gets larger or you have pain or fever due to an infected cyst.
Hope I have been able Yp allay your fears.
