Brief Answer:
No Problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is understood from your query, that you have been having HCV infection, and you were given treatment. Though you did not respond well, you are likely to respond with a change of prescription.
As far as the Cyst in the kidney is concerned, you do not need to worry. It’s a simple one and many of us would be having it without any symptoms or consequences. You don't need to get tested further for cyst. It has no health related issues, as it is simple. Rarely, it can produce some hemorrhage or some pain, which would decrease automatically without any intervention.
