Ditzydori — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 18:08:19 GMT

Anyone have ever had one? I'm quite concern.

They just found a large simple cyst, on my husbands kidney. Two surgeons told him it was nothing to worry about

I don't know if a complex cyst is necessarily dangerous? Good luck

I know it's different (you're human) but my boy cat is plagued with this. I now have to feed him a special prescription cat food.

The vet said boy cats are more likely to get this and it's caused (not always, but often because most cats don't drink enough water). Has anyone ever asked you if you drink enough water?

I have one. Went to the urologist and she said not a problem.

Love the desert. Was yours a complex cyst? They're sending me for an MRI.

Cherry, yes simple cysts are very common and benign. Complex cysts have to be further evaluated. Thanks for your reply.

@Ditzydori I had a complex cyst in a different place. I was told it just means there is some solid material instead of just fluid. That always gives them cause for concern when they see something solid instead of just fluid. I'm sure it's just nothing and they are being extra cautious to make sure it's nothing.

Good Luck!

Have you been diagnosed with "complex kidney cysts"? If you have, you ought to express your concerns to the doctor who diagnosed them. Whatever others tell you, the information is irrelevant to you, your body and your diagnosis.

If you haven't been diagnosed, what prompts you to ask the question? Whatever is going on, or you believe may be going on, the only credible information source is your doctor.

Cats01. I had TKR in August. I was told my GFR was low. Additional blood tests prompted more evaluation. I had a kidney sono which showed one complex cysts. A follow up MRI was suggested. I will have that next week.

I did discuss with my doctor. I'm sure you would agree asking for others experience isn't wrong, as you are suggesting.

I have recently found out I have a fluid filled cyst on my breast.I will consult my doctor when I get back to the States.I wonder if anybody else has a similar cyst.

I am glad someone asked this question.It is always interesting to read about what people were told who had the same problem.

@Bibione I have them. Two simple and one complex. They are still there as far as I know. And I've gotten clean bills of health since discovering them a few years ago. The simple cysts they could care less about. The complex one they investigated and determined it's nothing too.

If it's just fluid and nothing solid, don't worry about a thing. Very common diagnosis apparently.

Thanks Laura!!!I feel better.I also read online that if the borders are well defined and the fluid is clear it should be fine.

I will see my doctor anyway when I get back.

For 3 years I felt something wierd at times and I knew something was there.Last week I had a ultrasound.I was so relieved it was just a cyst.

See a nephrologist.

That's a kidney specialist.

Be well soon

I have a long story about a renal cyst. It was in 1991 though - so who knows what they do now a days. I suddenly developed a very high fever - went to the ER - Temp 104. Admitted to hospital - many tests and it was decided I had an infected renal cyst.It was infected with a very rare bacteria called chalymidia, which we had a patient at work who had this so I picked it up from him, no doubt. Anyway - 2 attempts to drain the cyst were unsuccessful - it just filled again so I had surgery to remove the cyst and the portion of the kidney where it was attached. The pathology on that showed I had a carcinoma in that cyst , as well as the infection, so 2 days after the surgery for the partial nephrectomy I had surgery to remove the remainder of that kidney.Weeks on IV antibiotics and finally got to go home after 3 months in the hospital. That was 26 years ago and I'm still above ground so I guess they got all the cancer & infection out. I've gotten along ok with just the one kidney all these years too.
