I had a CT scan which showed two stones in my left kidney but also showed a shadow covering one third of my right kidney. I am currently awaiting a second CT scan with contrast. Please could you advise your experience with patients showing a shadow covering one third of their right kidney? Thanks Graham
Hi, welcome to HCM. Shadow in your right kidney may be a cyst.That requires CT scan with contrast for further evaluation, its staging and further plan of action. Most of the time benign cyst requires no treatment except routine follow up. So, don't be panic. Let the CT scan report come. You can communicate with me further after report. Best wishes. TC.
