matters needing attention

Because simple renal cysts are mostly asymptomatic and have little effect on renal function and surrounding tissues, there is no need to treat them. They are only followed up for 6 months to 1 year. If the diameter of the cyst is larger than 5 cm, or the symptoms of compression of surrounding tissue cause urinary tract obstruction, then it is necessary to perform cystic fluid aspiration and intracapsular injection of sclerosing agent. If the cyst is large and more than 10 cm in diameter, surgical treatment may be required.
