the renal function of the child is absolutely normal.This suggests that the normal kidney is functioning normally. MCDK,the cysts usually starts regressing by the age of 7 years, but the risk of hypertension and development of cancer(wilm's tumor) is there.get annual ultrasound and Blood pressure monitoring with 6 monthly KFT. if their is any chane of cyst enlargement, stromal size increased or hypertension, then nephrectomy might be required.
