Hi Lacuesta,

My dads age is 47 as the symptoms below. He consulted a doctor and as diagnosed he found the in this RIGHT KIDNEY had a "SIMPLE CORTICAL CYST NOTED MEASURING 3.0cm.

Symptom:

1) Slight blood while urinating. (Now and then)
2) Have back pain from long time. (May be 2 - 3 months)

As he is a workaholic always he is tensed and angry, because of that he smokes a lot at least a pack a day..

Can you please explain me what actually this problem means and when this type of problem comes in kidney and how can we prevent/cure this...

Hi,

I do understand that this may sound scary the first time. But simple renal cysts that do not present with symptoms usually need no further intervention. Just keep your dad's scan results for future reference and keep close communication with his physician .

Do keep us posted for anything.

Hello there, thanks for the infos. Im just a bit worried for my dad coz he always complains about the pain. Hes turning 61 next month. All the result is normal and when we asked him if he has a problem when he urinates, no problem at all.
Anyway, thanks for the information, I really appreciate it. I just hope that everything will be fine with my dad before his birthday comes. :)

Hi,

A cyst is defined as a membranous sac containng fluid. A simple renal cyst is a classification given to renal cysts that "appear round or oval... without infections, calcifications, septations or divisions of its walls.("http://www.aafp.org/afp/20010115/288.html)

How old is your father?

"studies indicate that almost one third of persons greater than 50 years old  have at least one renal cyst that is identifiable on a CT scan. Most of these lesions are benign simple cysts that require no further evaluation, intervention or urologic consultation."(http://www.aafp.org/afp/20010115/288.html)

If this is a simple renal cyst then this may not be something that you should be very worried about. In the absence of symptoms like urinary pain, change in urine character and significant findings in the urinalysis, simple renal cysts may be monitored through a repeat scan if the person becomes symptomatic.

In the case of your dad, a baseline urinalysis and urine culture may be done to rule out an underlying infection that may cause his back pains. If the back pain occurs and other underlying conditions like musculoskeletal or arthritic pain have been ruled out, then radiographic monitoring of the cyst after 6 months may be done.
