Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Nature of hypo dense lesion in kidney should be first confirmed before deciding any treatment plan.
Firstly investigations like routine hemogram,Urine RE/ME,RBS,RFT should be done.
You didn't mentioned your age.It may be due to many reasons.It may be due to infection, cyst ,tumour etc.Age also plays an important role.
Contrast CT Scan of abdomen should be done for confirming nature of pathology.

You should consult nephrologist so that further investigation and treatment can be planned.
Treatment depends upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Get well soon.

Take Care
