Patient's question:
At 31 weeks, an ultrasound revealed that the right adrenal gland was not visible, appearing as a cyst. The ultrasound report described a cystic structure located below the right abdominal muscle and between the right kidney, with its lower edge nearly at the lower pole of the right kidney. The boundary was clear, with an elliptical shape, approximately 4.63.84.0 cm in size. The internal echo was poor, with fine punctate echoes and band-like strong echoes distributed inside. CDFI: No obvious color flow signals were detected inside or around it. The upper pole of the right kidney was compressed, and the right adrenal gland was not clearly visible.What should I do? Can I keep the baby? How should it be treated after birth?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition you described may be a cyst. A cyst is a benign disease, and surgery is generally the primary treatment method, while medication is largely ineffective. It is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drink plenty of water.There are many factors that can cause pediatric kidney diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a kidney disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
