Does anyone know....

[Snorkers65]

Hello Friends - I hope you are all doing as well as you can. You may recall, I was admitted to hospital last week for what they told me was Gastroenteritis and a Lung Infection. Having slept (mainly) since getting home on Tuesday evening I finally gathered the strength to do some bits around the house today which included some overdue filing of all my paperwork. I took the opportunity to read through my Discharge Note to find they found a ‘left septated renal cyst’ that requires further investigation and I was suffering from Sepsis. Does anyone know what ‘septated renal cyst’ is??

On a positive note, I now have dates for all my pre-assessment tests beginning on Monday!!

Hi, Snorkers. Sorry you had to be in hospital. My father has a septated cyst. Also called complex cyst. As long as it doesn't get bigger, our kidney doctor said it was not a big concern. She did say that a urologist would need to monitor with regular ultrasounds. He has had this cyst for years, without complication.

Hi did it say anything else? Renal cysts have a scale of 1-5 depending on the size, shape and wall thickness. I don’t think it’s linked to your infection, most are found “accidentally “ on scans for another reason, you need to ring your liver dr and ask for more details, let me know what they say and I’ll try to be of more help, I used to be a renal nurse. Good luck x

Thank you - I will try and reach my Dr next week..

I have been diagnosed with a left kidney cyst - it does not cause me any issues and is of no concern to my consultant.

It's worth asking your Gp about.

Best wishes

Thank you

Your welcome - I would be interested to hear what your Dr has to say about it. Mine was logged as a presumed cyst !

[Snorkers65 in reply to Jillymo]

I will bring you feedback once I have my next CT and have seen the Dr. X

I have a grade F2 cyst on my kidney, at first it was thought to be simple cyst but it grew a little over time, so I had a CT with contrast.

That showed it to be grade F2, which had small septated areas that needed watching. Which basically meant they needed to follow it, which they have for 5 years.

It never changed and I was just discharged back to the GP last month. If it needs investigating ask your doctors about a CT scan with contrast, that showed everything my consultant needed to know.

[Snorkers65 in reply to Candy12]

I have a ‘Level 3 CT Scan’ booked in around 4 weeks and a follow up with the Consultant, I will update when I know more... keep well x

[Jillymo in reply to Snorkers65]

It sounds as if you are receiving the correct investigations - please do keep me updated. You too. x

[Snorkers65 in reply to Jillymo]

Will do 🤞

What is a level 3 ct scan please? The level 3 bit I mean...

[Snorkers65 in reply to ThreeSmiles]

I don’t know, that’s just how it is referenced on the document they sent to me...?

[ThreeSmiles in reply to Snorkers65]

Aha. I have never heard of that but I’m sure others may have?

Whatever it is good luck!
