What about renal cysts?

Kidney cyst is a common disease in clinical practice, generally belongs to benign lesions. Small renal cysts usually do not affect the health of the human body, nor do they show obvious clinical symptoms. Patients are generally discovered by chance during physical examination.

For smaller renal cysts, special treatment is generally not required. Regular ultrasound examination of the kidney can observe the changes of the cyst.

When the cyst volume increases, it often causes some clinical symptoms. Larger renal cysts can cause renal capsule to be pulled, causing low back pain. In addition, lower pole renal cysts can also cause renal pressure, resulting in hydronephrosis, which can also cause symptoms of low back pain.

In addition, if renal cysts oppress renal vessels, causing renal ischemia, it can also cause increased secretion of angiotensin, renin, etc., causing symptoms of hypertension. For larger renal cysts, it can generally be treated by laparoscopic renal cyst decompression surgery.
