What is a liver or kidney cyst?
I have been diagnosed with liver and kidney cysts, but I don't know what this condition is. I would like to ask the doctor, what are liver and kidney cysts?
Doctor's answer (1)
Hepatorenal cysts are a relatively common clinical condition, referring to the presence of both liver and kidney cysts simultaneously. In simple terms, hepatorenal cysts are "fluid-filled sacs" that develop in the liver and kidneys. These cystic lesions contain uniform liquid content, are surrounded by a complete membrane, and are typically benign.
The causes include congenital developmental abnormalities, genetic factors, infections, trauma, and others. Most patients may be diagnosed incidentally during physical examinations via imaging studies and often do not exhibit obvious clinical symptoms, requiring only regular follow-up. If the cysts are large in size or cause significant discomfort, treatment should be determined according to the specific clinical situation.
If you have any questions or experience related symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
