Noticed Dense Lesion On The Left Kidney And Cyst On Right Kidney With Lupus
I have a 1.2 cm hypo dense lesion in the posterior cortex of the left kidney. Also a 1.5cm hyperdense mass located at the lower pole of left kidney. A large para pelvic cyst in the right kidney with a 7mm kidney in the origin to the cyst. I have had blood and protein in my urine. Went to ER this past Monday and Urologist Friday. CT scan disc was not burned correctly therefore he was unable to see based on radiology report. Told me to come back in 2 to 3 weeks, yet I am still in pain. Please advise what I should do? I am a female age 57 and tested positive for lupus.

Hi, cysts are common in kidneys. you might have one which probably got infected. uninfected cysts are generally symptom free.
Lupus nephritis patients loose protein in urine and you need ACE inhibitor drugs which can help.
you may try a course of antibiotics and opiate analgesics for pain, before you get to consult your doctor.
hope this helped.
