Hi
Thanks for your query.

You have not mentioned the size of the cyst or its appearance.
Renal cysts are often diagnosed incidentally.
If they are not too big and look benign on the ultrasound then no active treatment is required.
All we need to do is monitor them by doing an ultrasound every 1-2 years.

Hope this helps
Good luck
