Hi, many thanks for the query!
Well, you haven't mentioned about any pain there,
so, if no pain is there, cyst need not be removed surgically,
if its causing pain or other symptoms,
then take symptomatic treatment,
you are diabetic, hypertensive & old age person, so,
operative procedure should be avoided.
Consult your Urologist for further management.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.

Hi madam, welcome to HCM. your husband has chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3. The most likely causes will be damage from diabetes, hypertension or narrowing of blood vessels. The most important steps to take will be to ensure good control of BP and diabetes. I hope he has had a urine test for protenuria and ultrasound of kidneys. He needs to see a nephrologist at least 3 times a year (every 4 months) He is a long way from needing dialysis and might not need it in his lifetime as long as you do what I have said above. DO let me know if I can be of any further help. Regards.
