Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been detected to have protein 1 + in your urine and a solitary cyst of a size of 16 mm in your Rt kidney .

The solitary cyst in kidney is always a benign cyst which is congenital in origin and can be considered as an accidental findings .
.
We find such cysts being detected in many individuals when Ultrasound Scanning is done as routine protocol for some other illness .

It does not require any active intervention or treatment and nothing to be worried about it..

As regards to get one + protein in urine analysis has no significance and can be considered as normal .It is not due to cyst that you have .

Thanks for providing significant information about cyst. Is there any reason behind 1+ protein. Because it is there when I tested twice with two month gap. Any medicine need to be taken for this or just observation is enough.
