What is left kidney cyst

summary

Recently, one of my colleagues felt unwell and went to the hospital for an examination. Unexpectedly, I learned that it was a left kidney cyst. However, because I had never heard of this disease before, I specially asked the doctor about the problem and got the answer. Now let's popularize the science about what a left kidney cyst is.

What is left kidney cyst

First: once the left kidney cyst is found, it should be treated in a regular professional hospital in time. Only when the cyst is small can the treatment achieve better effect, and the cost is also less. If the treatment is delayed for a long time, the longer the disease will be, the more serious the disease will be, the more difficult the treatment will be, and the more expensive the treatment will be. Therefore, early treatment is the key.

Second: when the renal cyst is asymptomatic, it does not need treatment, but it should be reviewed regularly to observe whether the cyst continues to increase. If the cyst is large and has the possibility of malignant transformation, surgical exploration can be carried out. If it is confirmed as a benign cyst, the cyst wall on the surface of the kidney can be removed. If one side of the renal parenchyma is extensively damaged and the other side of the renal function is normal, nephrectomy can be performed.

Third: Generally speaking, the left cyst close to or more than 5cm should be actively treated, otherwise long-term compression of renal parenchyma, will cause renal ischemia and hypoxia, hypertension, leading to a large number of protein leakage. Traditional methods of treatment often use decapitation decompression and puncture sclerotherapy, but after the cyst is reduced, it will grow rapidly under the pressure, often relapse, with less advantages and disadvantages.

matters needing attention

Many people don't understand what's going on with the left renal cyst. In fact, if the patient has detected this kind of disease, he should have a careful examination at the first time to see if he needs further treatment. Because it's relatively simple to treat this disease early, he should be careful and don't miss the best treatment time, so as to reduce the impact on life.
