I was born with one kidney and could never remember which so when I went in for an ultrasound of my bladder I asked to find out which kidney I have. I have my left kidney. They noticed within the interpolar region, there is an 11x8x9mm hypoechoic lesion probably reflective of a small cortical cyst, although there are some low level internal echoes which I suspect are artifact they suggest to have a followup ultrasound to ensure stable appearance. they added that no additional renal lesions, calculi or hydronephrosis identified Please tell me what this means in simple terms and should I be worried of kidney cancer, failure or anything else bad!
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have simple cortical cyst.  No need to worry about that. Just repeat ultrasound after 3 months to check the size. You have no additional renal lesions like calculi or HY Chat Doctor.  It means you don't have other abnormality like stone or obstruction.  You don't have any cancer.  So don't worry. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
