    Cortical Kidney Cyst

    • Cysts are small pouches of fluid, if present in kidney are known as renal cyst.
    • Most of the cysts are benign in nature, some may get infected and may cause renal pain,
    • Hypertension and benign cysts are not dangerous, only if their size is large and obstructing to the vessels, or if they are giving pressure to other vital organs then it can be the cause of concern. In such cases the solution is to remove the cyst by surgery.

    Hi, I need an expert opinion, when my husband was 49 years old and he had went for kidney ultrasound and found 2.7 x 2.6 cm cyst in the lateral portion of the left kidney with calcification within the cyst. From then until now he never goes for another ultrasound but he complains pain in his lower back. What exactly we need to do? What can you suggest? Appreciate your prompt reply.
