Can Cysts In The Liver Lead To Serious Health Consequences?

Upload complete report...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It would have been better if you had uploaded the complete scan report instead of a small part screenshot. You can scan all the pages of the report and upload it here.
Generally, a liver cyst is not concerning and need observation. However, when the cyst is large, doctors may perform aspiration of the cyst through ultrasound guide probe/needle. The contents of the aspirate would be studied under a microscope which will allow his doctors to understand the cause and future treatment of the cyst.
Please upload the scan report completely and we can discuss further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Observation may do...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through your reports with diligence. As far as life is concerned, you have a few cysts and the largest was this - 5.6 x 5.2 one. This one is not that large and if you have symptoms, your doctor might choose to just observe the cyst for further changes. He/she may call you for a repeat scan to see for changes.
That being said, the cause of cysts can only be determined after studying samples of aspirate. Your treating doctor can decide when to perform aspiration (ultrasound guided).
Hope this helps your query.

Dr. Prasad, General & Family Physician
