What disease is kidney cyst

summary

The treatment of renal cysts must consider the degree of adverse effects of cysts on the kidney and the whole body, and depends on the size and development of cysts. Many people don't know about renal cysts.

What disease is kidney cyst

First: single kidney cyst has no symptoms, only when it becomes large, causing low back pain, there will be symptoms. When a single cyst occurs, sometimes you can feel a soft mass in the abdomen with your finger. Polycystic kidney disease can occasionally cause hematuria (with blood in the urine), or repeated episodes of pyelonephritis. In most cases, polycystic kidney disease is asymptomatic, unless the cyst finally replaces too much renal tissue, leading to chronic renal failure. When the disease reached the point of chronic renal failure, symptoms began to appear.

The second reason is that the cyst is usually found in the kidney for some other reason. Many patients with renal cysts do not know they have the disease. However, severe polycystic kidney disease is rare. In the United States, about 2% of chronic renal failure is caused by renal cysts.

Third: the imaging findings of renal cysts are similar to renal tumors. Sometimes renal cysts can be combined with renal tumors, and renal tumors can have cystic changes. The difference between the two is that if the imaging examination indicates that the cyst wall is thin and the cyst contains clear serous fluid. Most of them are benign. If the cyst wall is thick but not smooth, and the fluid is bloody, it indicates the possibility of malignant transformation. The malignant transformation rate is about 3%.

matters needing attention

No partial food, grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meat of cattle, sheep and pigs, eggs, milk, fish and shrimp can be eaten. People with renal insufficiency or uremia should also pay attention to not eating beans and their products, limiting animal high protein food and greasy food.
