Hello doctor, My father had a sudden weight loss. CT abdomen was done. It shows likely TB etiology and few cortical cysts in the bilateral kidney. The previous infection was found in the urine culture report.
Hello. Weight loss can definitely be explained by TB (tuberculosis) abdomen but before starting TB medicines it requires confirmation of TB for which you may require a biopsy test. If you can kindly upload the CT (computed tomography) abdomen report I can tell you which part have to be biopsied? The renal cortical cyst is not of significance if your serum creatinine (blood test) is in normal limits. You said that previous infection was found in urine culture report, when exactly it was done? Were you treated for that, if not kindly upload the report?
