I am a 51 year old Filipino male, my height is 5ft 5in, weight is 140lbs, upon advise of my doctor I had an ultrasound made, the result of which shows that my left kidney is 11.28 x 5.64 x 4.41 cm with a cortical thickness of 1.39cm. It has a cortical cysts measuring 1.6 x 1.6 cm and 1.3 x 0.8cm in its mid and upper pole. no calculus or caliectasis noted. What the report mean and what should be done?
Hi ADN welcome. Nothing should be done. These are only mild chronic kinda changes due to aging. There is no need to be worried if your urea and creatinine levels are normal and you don't have any symptoms. Those 2 cysts are small and it shouldn't cause any problems. You should just do annual check up by ultrasounds for its size following and if it shows rapid grow or signs of malignancy it should be surgically removed. From this, it seems like to be simple, benign cortical cyst.  Wish you good health.
