Have Cyst On Kidney. Do I Need Any Treatment?
Hello XXXXXXX
I am of the other doctors that a single kidney cyst does not require any treatment.
It is when you have polycystic kidney diseases which can only be managed with palliative care or kidney transplant (PKD is a very serious condition). Simple kidney cysts are benign and would normally not cause any hard to you or your kidney.
Hope this answers your question.
