Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
If you mean Hb is 8.5,it's anemia.He'll need to take hematinic(iron)tablets.
The gout is well controlled,as the uric acid levels are normal.
The dosage of Allopurinol or Febuxostat,will need to be maintained.
Then repeat the uric acid and Hb(hemoglobin),in a months time.
The scan is a simple cyst in the kidney,so there's nothing to worry.
You'll need to repeat this scan in a year,to see if there's any change.
If you've any doubts,send the reports to me,as a direct question.
