Can hereditary kidney cysts be relieved?

Patient's question:

Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Can hereditary renal cysts be relieved?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, the main issue is hereditary renal cysts. Based on the size and severity of the renal cysts, it is estimated that if the renal cyst is larger than 4 centimeters, it can pose significant harm to the body. There is a possibility that it may compress kidney tissue, so it is advisable to undergo minimally invasive surgical intervention. This can be beneficial for the treatment of the disease. Additionally, it is necessary to have a renal function test and a careful urinalysis to rule out any harm to the kidneys.
