Are renal cysts a matter of concern?
Patient: I am a 54 yr old feamale with mildly high blood pressure 140-150 over 95- 100 even with medication sometimes I do have 2 renal cyst in my right and would like to know if I should really be concerned with my kidneys , there is kidney disease in my family. Doctor: HiThanks for your query.You have not mentioned the size of the cyst or its appearance.Renal cysts are often diagnosed incidentally. If they are not too big and look benign on the ultrasound then no active treatment is required.All we need to do is monitor them by doing an ultrasound every 1-2 years.Hope this helpsGood luck
