Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been carefully diagnosed with a kidney cyst, so I would like to know very much. What are the hazards of a kidney cyst?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the pathogenesis of renal cysts is not yet fully understood, and most believe it is related to renal glomerular diverticula. Simple renal cysts do not present obvious symptoms. If the size of the renal cyst becomes excessively large, additional symptoms may occur, such as obstructing the ureter, which can affect urine excretion and lead to hydronephrosis. Generally, when obstructive symptoms appear or the diameter of the renal cyst exceeds 5 cm, surgical removal is considered. If none of the above conditions are present, it is recommended to undergo relevant examinations every 6 months to a year to dynamically monitor its size.
