Is It Safe To Ignore The Cysts On The Kidney In A 73 Yr Old?
My 73 yr old mother has hemateria in her urine, was told via CAT scan she has 3/8 something in her bladder and cysts on her kidneys. She is awaiting a cystoscopy, the Dr. told her the kidney cysts are nothing to worry about? Is that answer safe without further examination? What should our concerns be

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your mother has been detected to have a cyst in her kidney.
The kidney cysts are from birth and benign in nature and do not need any active treatment and are left alone.
Please do not worry as far as cyst is concerned .Please go ahead and get her Cystoscopic examination done to find out the nature of the lesion in her bladder.
