Patient's question:
Lately, my appetite hasn't been good, and I've been a bit swollen all over. I feel very weak. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Is a kidney cyst with calcification self-healing?Doctor's answer:
It may not be. It depends on the size of the kidney cyst. It's impossible for the entire kidney cyst to be completely fibrotic. If the kidney cyst is relatively small, it can be carefully monitored without excessive treatment. If the kidney cyst is larger and compresses surrounding tissues, it may lead to poor kidney function, and surgery to remove the cyst may be necessary. Currently, minimally invasive surgery may be a better option. If you have a kidney cyst, don't worry too much, as there may be a way to treat it.
