I had an MRI done of my lower spine to pin point a back problem. The findings also were of multiple bilateral renal cyst , many of these are lobulated in appearance. these are incompletely visualized on the localizer images & on axial images of the spine. When ask by the nurse about my past health, she ask who was treating my Kidney disease . This took me aback a bit as I was not aware that I had Kidney disease. Is this something I should pursue?
HiT hanks for your query did not mention your age. There can be a number of causes of renal cysts. Some of them are benign while others need to be followed up. A few small simple cysts in patients > 65 years age may be of little clinical significance while multiple large cysts in a persons I suggest that you see a nephrologist. He/she will look at the scans and decide what can be done further. I would recommend doing the following tests as well
