Guest guest Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 We've asked that one alot. It seems not really according to Dr G. They are so benign and incidental, nearly always. I am like you, all mine shows is a 1cm cyst on the right kidney, no adrenal anything. Not sure I trust too much these days in regards to radiology.

I was looking over my MRI of the kidney results 5 years ago and it showed a renal cyst?Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Renal cysts are very common on MRI and CTs. As are liver cysts. Not related to PA that we know.CE Grim MDOn Mar 28, 2012, at 3:54 PM, Bingham wrote: We've asked that one alot. It seems not really according to Dr G.

Sorry Dr. Grim - that's the same line I was handed about adrenal adenomas for over 10 years - just because its common doesn't mean one shouldn't be concerned - at the very least further monitoring of ANY cyst or other anomaly is warranted - Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 You never hear me say this about adrenal bumps as I have been saying they are most often related to disease if you test correctly since 1966 at least. And long Hx of studies showing they are associated with HTN.But maybe the others are doing something but no good data yet. So must weight the costs and risks of "following" cysts. Only way I know is to do repeat MRIs and/or CTs and take a few out to see if dieases x gets better or not.
