Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite hasn't been good, and I've been a bit swollen all over. I feel weak. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. What should I do about a kidney cyst?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons for this stomach pain, and without a thorough examination, no one knows what caused it. The doctor recommended a kidney CT scan to rule out several kidney diseases, which is a more appropriate examination. In the past, due to various conditions, science was not as advanced. Some diseases were diagnosed based on the doctor's experience, and treatment was given accordingly. As a result, the misdiagnosis and mortality rates in the past were higher than they are now. Now that science has advanced, various examinations have also become more advanced, so it is generally possible to diagnose clearly. At least, life-threatening diseases can be ruled out.
