My kidney cystic

[NOCanceros]

1/12/2021 I did Computer tomography (CT) it was 1.2cm in my right kidney and they said it was Kidney cysts

30/6/2022 another Computer tomography (CT) it was 1.6cm in my right kidney.

They will make Ultrasound and try to take biopsy soon.

Thanks for reading

I have a 1.6 cm lesion in my left kidney. I get a CT every year and it doesn't change so I leave it alone. No biopsies.

I Hope that it’s benign ! 🙏✌️

My information is that kidney cysts are not biopsied. If the radiologists or the urological surgeons think it may be a cancer they will observe the cyst/cysts and if they increase in size they will intervene. They do not biopsy the cysts because if it is a cancer they may spread the cancer in the retroperitoneum.

If there are doubts about a simple cyst or possible cancer they could do a dedicated renal CT examination consisting of thin-section (2.5-5 mm) helical imaging of the kidneys before the intravenous administration of contrast agent, followed by imaging 60-70 seconds and 3-5 minutes after administration of the contrast agent.

I have several simple renal cysts which have not increased in size except for one of them which eventually was diagnosed a hemorrhagic cyst.

It scared the crap out of me the first time I read that I had a cyst in my kidney. It's been there for decades. No sweat.
