Suggest Treatment For Kidney Cysts
Dear Doc, I am a 44 year old man. My father had kidney problems which led to his death in 1993. I have just been diagnosed of having kidney cysts, probably simple. I have pain in my right side, between ribs and pelvis and the Ultrasound scan today showed a 7 cm long cyst. How can I improve my health and can this be treated.

Hello
Your findings suggests large simple renal cyst.Generally it only require regular follow up.
Simple renal cysts are age related developmental cysts.
Generally in asymptomatic patient it doesn't require any treatment.
Surgical excision is only indicated if it is associated with pain,infection,size enlargement etc.
So,there is no need to be worried.It is generally a benign finding.
Get well soon.
