Kidney Cysts Explained: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment by Urologist

PACE Hospitals

A kidney cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms in or on the kidneys, often detected during imaging tests. While many cysts are simple and harmless, some may cause symptoms like pain in the back or side, fever, or frequent urination. Larger or complex cysts can sometimes lead to complications like infections or impaired kidney function. Treatment for kidney cysts depends on the size and symptoms. In most cases, small, simple cysts don't require treatment, but larger or symptomatic cysts may need draining or surgical removal to prevent further issues.
