MRI Shows Hepatic Cysts In Liver, Kidney. Father Died Of Kidney Cancer. Any Solution?

I have a MRI report done that says I have Hepatic lesions compatible with cysts. When the MRI was done they also found an oblong parapelvic cyst of the lower left kidney measuring up to 2.8cm They also say there are a couple of subcentimeter probable cysts of each kidney. I have known for 7 years I have multiple scattered hepatic cysts in the liver. I am concerned because this is the first time anything has shown up in the kidney. My father died of kidney cancer about 7 years ago and that was the time they showed multiple liver cysts when I did my colonscopy then
This MRI was done because there were cysts showing up on the liver when they did a CT virtual colonscopy

hi
thank you for the query
sir I have gone through your query and understood your concerns..
sir a parapelvic cyst of the kidney is realtively common problem encountered in urological examination...but rarely need treatment...unless it is presented with symptomatic renal stones, pyelonephritis and back discomfort...how ever considering your family history of renal malignancy I would like to advise you appropriate diagnostic measures and follow up regularly...and coming to your liver cysts ..common causes of hepatic cysts found to be
simple cysts
neoplastic cysts
PCLD
hydatid cysts
liver abscess
get liver function tests done and appropriate diagnostic procedures to rule out neoplastic liver cysts after consulting your Gastroenterologist...
hope I have answered your query
wish you good health
thank you follow up queries will be welcomed
regards
DR Alekhya
