Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Is a kidney cyst the same as polycystic kidney disease?Doctor's answer:
Two of them are not entirely consistent, because as for the cyst itself, it may only be one. Therefore, it is often related to congenital conditions. Some people have it since birth, but there are no other problems that have been discovered. However, some people may only discover it after undergoing a health check. Even if there are issues with a kidney cyst, there is no need for special treatment. Most people don't need to worry about it, just pay close attention and monitor it. If it's polycystic kidney disease, then it's important to pay attention to whether there are any issues with kidney function.
