Is A Complex Cystic Mass On Kidney An Indicator Of Cancer Or CKD?
My mother (86) has recently been told she has a complex cystic mass on her left kidney. Creatinine level was 1.39 in 2012, 1.29 in late-2013, and now is 1.59. Primary care MD said to wait 6 months for a recheck. Should she see a nephrologist for second opinion? Could this be an indicator of cancer or CKD?

Hello
no you dont need to panic,kidney cysts ocurrs commonly in many healthy people too n moreover her creatinine levels r also not in abnormal range...u just need to check blood urea/creatinine levels once every six months
