  Simple kidney cysts are fluid-filled sacs that usually don’t cause issues. If symptomatic, they can be treated with drainage or laparoscopic surgery. […] In most cases, simple kidney cysts do not cause symptoms and usually do not require treatment. However, in some cases simple kidney cysts can grow large enough and cause a dull pain in a person’s back, side or upper abdomen. […] If simple kidney cysts cause problems then surgery might be needed. […] Simple kidney cysts that are causing symptoms or blocking the normal flow of blood or urine through the kidney may need to be treated using a procedure called sclerotherapy, where the cyst is punctured using a long needle, guided by ultrasound. […] If the cyst is large enough, then a type of surgery known as a laparoscopy might be needed.

• #1 Renal Cyst: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment

  https://dreminozbek.com/en/renal-cyst-causes-diagnosis-and-treatment/

  Renal cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form in the kidneys. They can be classified as simple or complex. Renal cysts are usually discovered incidentally during imaging tests such as ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs, which are performed for other reasons. Treatment for renal cysts depends on the type and symptoms. If a cyst causes symptoms like pain, infection, or high blood pressure, or if its complex and suspicious for cancer, treatment options may include aspiration and sclerotherapy, laparoscopic surgery, or, in rare cases, nephrectomy (removal of part or all of the kidney). […] Treatment is usually considered if the cyst: causes persistent pain or discomfort in the flank or back; leads to high blood pressure that cannot be controlled with medication; is associated with recurrent urinary tract infections; shows signs of bleeding, infection, or rupture; grows significantly in size over time.

  If a simple kidney cyst causes no symptoms and doesn’t affect kidney function, you may not need treatment. Instead, your health care provider may recommend that you have imaging tests, such as ultrasounds, over time to see whether your kidney cyst changes. […] If your kidney cyst changes and causes symptoms, you may choose to have treatment at that time. Sometimes a simple kidney cyst goes away on its own. […] If a simple kidney cyst is causing symptoms, your health care provider may recommend treatment. Options include: […] Piercing and draining the cyst, then filling it with a solution. The solution causes scarring and helps prevent the cyst from filling with fluid again. Alcohol or a chemical compound may be used as the solution. […] Rarely, to shrink the cyst, a long, thin needle may be inserted through your skin and through the wall of the kidney cyst. Then the fluid is drained from the cyst and filled with a solution to prevent it from reforming.

  Kidney cysts sometimes do not require treatment. When treatment is needed, you will see a urologist (a doctor specializing in conditions of the urinary tract). Some possible treatments include, laparoscopic surgery. […] Laparoscopic surgery is a diagnostic operation aided by a small camera and incisions in the abdominal cavity to help surgeons examine bodily organs. Many patients are candidates for the surgery. However, a major disqualifier would be patients with excessive scar tissue. The surgery is minimally invasive and offers a faster recovery time when compared to traditional surgery. With this method, the cyst can be removed. […] Other types of treatment include: Cyst Drainage: A doctor punctures the kidney cyst by inserting a medical needle into the skin and into the cyst. Once the fluid is removed from the cyst, a doctor may take steps to prevent another occurrence by inserting a specialized medical solution into the cyst. […] Time: Many kidney cysts are not noticed. They also dissolve or shrink on their own, in time. There is no medical treatment necessary if symptoms do not occur or agitate the kidney.

  If you’re not having any of the symptoms listed in the “Symptoms” section, and your kidney cyst is small, you may not need any treatment. Your doctor might want to check the cyst again with a CT scan in 6 to 12 months. […] If you start having problems, your doctor might want you to have a CT or MRI scan of your kidney to see if the cyst is growing. […] If the cyst on your kidney is large or if it contains calcifications (hard, stony pieces) or dense tissue, you might need to have CT scans every so often. This allows your doctor to watch for changes in the cyst. […] If your cyst is blocking blood flow or urine flow, your doctor may have to treat it. He or she may use a procedure called sclerotherapy. During sclerotherapy, your doctor will use a long needle to drain the cyst. He or she will then fill the cyst with an alcohol solution to harden kidney tissue. […] If your cyst isn’t causing any problems, it probably won’t need to be removed. If it is getting larger or if it’s causing problems, your doctor may send you to a urologist (a doctor who has special training in kidney problems).

• #1 Kidney Cysts (Renal Cysts) – Diagnosis, Evaluation and Treatment

  https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/renal-cyst

  Renal cysts are usually left alone and do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms or harming kidney function. If treatment is required, your doctor may use sclerotherapy or surgery to drain the cyst and take steps to prevent its recurrence. […] Treatment options include: Sclerotherapy: Also known as percutaneous alcohol ablation, sclerotherapy involves the insertion of a long needle through the skin and into the cyst under ultrasound guidance. The doctor will drain the cyst and fill it with an alcohol-based solution that causes the tissue to harden and shrink, reducing the chance of recurrence. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis with a local anesthetic. […] Surgery: For larger cysts, a surgeon will make a small incision and access the cyst with a laparoscope. The surgeon will then drain the cyst and burn or cut away its outer layer. Laparoscopic surgery requires general anesthesia.

  To diagnose a kidney cyst, you might see a specialist called a urologist. Your doctor may take a blood or urine sample to see how well your kidneys are working. […] If the cyst is small and doesn’t cause any problems with your kidneys, you might not need to treat it. You may just have imaging tests done every 6 to 12 months to make sure the cyst hasn’t grown. […] For larger cysts or ones that cause symptoms, treatments include sclerotherapy and surgery. […] Sclerotherapy is done to drain the cyst. You’ll first get a local anesthetic so you won’t feel any pain. Using ultrasound as a guide, your doctor will place a thin needle into the cyst through your skin and drain all the fluid from the cyst. Sometimes, the doctor fills the cyst with an alcohol solution afterward to prevent it from growing again. You’ll likely go home on the same day as the procedure.

  If your cyst doesnt cause symptoms or complications, you dont need treatment. For a simple acquired cystic kidney you probably wont need treatment. However, in the rare case that you have symptoms, you may need treatment. […] You may have a procedure called cyst sclerotherapy that involves these steps: […] A doctor punctures the cyst with a long needle inserted through the skin, using ultrasound for guidance. […] The doctor drains (aspirates) the cyst and may then fill the empty pouch with a solution that contains alcohol; this causes the tissue to harden and lowers the chances the cyst will come back. Scarring down the space within the cyst is called sclerosis. […] In some cases, a cyst will return and refill with fluid. Your doctor may recommend surgery in which they give you drugs to make you sleep and make a large incision. During the procedure, the surgeon will insert a thin, lighted viewing tube called a laparoscope and other instruments to drain the fluid from the cyst and remove or burn its outer wall to keep it from returning.

• #1 A Painless and Time-Saving Modified Technique for Simple Renal Cyst Treatment with Single-session Ethanol Sclerotherapy | Scientific Reports

  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-61842-1

  Percutaneous puncture ethanol sclerotherapy is a simple, effective, minimally invasive, and inexpensive procedure to manage symptomatic simple renal cysts. […] We modified specific technical aspects to balance certain potential intraprocedural factors for ensuring minimal procedural pain and duration as well as maximal clinical therapeutic effects and evaluated the safety and efficacy of this modified technique. […] The modified procedure appeared to be more comfortable, faster, and safer. […] Therefore, we sought to modify specific technical aspects of the conventional procedure, which resulted in positive effects. […] The modified technique is painless, time-saving, and injury-reducing and can thus improve medical care. […] In summary, we recommend direct puncture of the cyst to avoid renal parenchymal injury, preinjection of intracystic lidocaine to control pain, and increase in ethanol volume/exposure area without changing the patient position to shorten the procedural duration. […] Furthermore, the modified technique is safe and effective and can thus improve medical care.

  Surgery to remove the cyst. A large cyst that’s causing symptoms may require surgery. To access the cyst, a surgeon makes several small incisions in your skin and inserts special tools and a small video camera. […] While watching a video monitor in the operating room, the surgeon guides the tools to the kidney and uses them to drain the fluid from the cyst. Then the walls of the cyst are cut or burned away. Surgery is rarely performed for simple cysts. The procedure is more often used for complex cysts with changes that may be cancer. […] Some procedures to treat a kidney cyst may require a brief hospital stay.

  Laparoscopic renal cyst ablation is an effective minimally invasive treatment for large, symptomatic kidney cysts especially those that recur despite needle aspiration/drainage. […] Laparoscopic kidney surgery for treating symptomatic cysts have significant benefits to the patient including reduced blood loss and transfusions, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, improved cosmesis, and a faster recovery as compared to open surgery. As such, it has become the standard of care for the surgical management of symptomatic, recurrent renal cysts. Published outcomes of laparoscopic renal cyst ablation appear comparable to open renal cyst ablation in terms resolution of the cyst and symptoms. […] Success rate in terms of complete radiographic resolution of the treated cyst is approximately 90% with symptomatic relief in approximately 95%.

• #1 Management of Renal Cysts

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4376217/

  Renal cyst aspiration (usually with sclerotherapy) or open/laparoscopic decortication is a generally effective and safe method in the treatment of symptomatic simple renal cysts. […] Laparoscopic decortication was found to have high success rates, a low recurrence rate, and minimal morbidity. […] When a symptomatic cyst is encountered and treatment of the cyst is indicated, laparoscopic decortication is a more efficient method that offers better results than percutaneous aspiration-sclerotherapy. […] LD of RCs has been shown to be an extremely safe and effective therapy. […] In our study, the radiologic success rate was 96.6% and the rate of improvement of symptoms was 92.6% after a mean follow-up period of 35.26 months in the LD group. In the PAS group, the radiologic success rate was 60% and the rate of improvement of symptoms was 54.2% after a mean follow-up period of 34.91 months. […] Laparoscopic cyst decortication is an effective and durable treatment for symptomatic simple RCs with long-term durability compared with PAS. The higher success rates of this minimally invasive technique may indicate a preference for the use of this method over other treatment modalities.

  https://dreminozbek.com/en/renal-cyst-causes-diagnosis-and-treatment/

  Simple renal cysts are usually benign and asymptomatic, requiring minimal intervention. However, treatment may be necessary if they cause symptoms or complications. Here are the primary treatment options: Observation: Monitoring: If the cyst is small and asymptomatic, regular monitoring with periodic imaging (ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI) may be recommended to ensure it does not grow or cause problems. Aspiration and Sclerotherapy: Aspiration: A needle is inserted through the skin into the cyst under ultrasound or CT guidance to drain the fluid. Sclerotherapy: After aspiration, a sclerosing agent (such as alcohol) is injected into the cyst to help shrink it and prevent it from refilling. Laparoscopic Surgery: Laparoscopic Cyst Decortication: If the cyst is large, symptomatic, or causing complications, laparoscopic surgery may be performed to remove the cyst wall. Open Surgery: Open Cyst Decortication: In rare cases where the cyst is very large or there are multiple cysts causing significant issues, open surgery may be required to remove the cysts.

  However, for the management of severe pain, hypertension, hematuria, or infection, surgical excision may be preferred. […] Simple renal cysts rarely require surgical management to relieve pain or obstruction. Treatment options include aspiration, sclerosis, open resection, endoscopic marsupialization and fulguration, percutaneous resection, and laparoscopic resection. […] A randomized trial by Agarwal et al that compared percutaneous sclerotherapy versus laparoscopic unroofing for symptomatic renal cysts determined that both procedures were safe and had equal efficacy. […] Bosniak category III and IV renal cysts require surgical exploration. Approximately 50% of Bosniak category III cystic renal lesions are malignant. Management depends on the appearance of the lesion and varies from exploration and biopsy to nephrectomy.

  Effective means of prevention or modulation of disease have not yet been identified. Current treatment is aimed at symptom control. In general, therapy is reserved for pain, hypertension, infection, renal salt wasting, and nephrolithiasis. […] Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) have decreased ability to concentrate urine and should be encouraged to drink 1-2 L of water daily. […] Generally, a blood pressure of 130/80 mm Hg is considered the treatment goal for hypertension in this population. Moderate hypertension may be treated with sodium restriction (ie, 100 mEq/d), exercise, and weight control. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are effective in controlling hypertension in ADPKD. However, ACE inhibitors have been associated with reversible renal failure in polycystic kidney disease. Calcium channel blockers also are effective in managing hypertension in ADPKD.

  Treatment of infection involving cystic kidneys requires a prolonged course of antibiotics. Most cyst walls are permeable to polar antibiotics, including cephalosporins, penicillin derivatives, and aminoglycosides. […] In patients with simple cysts, a cyst infection usually requires a combination of antimicrobial and surgical management. […] Research has identified biochemical targets that may allow disease-modifying therapy for renal cystic disease, and several agents have been tested in randomized clinical trials. […] In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), significant chronic pain may result from expansion of renal cysts. Needle aspiration is usually the first-line approach to symptomatic cysts. […] Initial resolution and then return of symptoms with reaccumulation of cyst fluid increases the chance that a laparoscopic cyst decortication will eliminate the patient’s pain.

  Cysts can swell up and cause pain in the upper back. Sometimes you may bleed from the cysts and there may be blood in the urine. Infections can occur, with pain passing urine, or fevers with sweats and pain in the back. These can be hard to treat, requiring long courses of antibiotics. […] It is rare for cysts to require drainage. If so, this can be done with a needle, with some local anaesthetic to dull the pain and an X-ray (ultrasound) machine for guidance. However, polycystic kidneys contain so many cysts that drainage of a single cyst cannot cure the condition. Even if one cyst is painful, there may be hundreds of cysts in each kidney, and needling the one causing the problem can be very hard.

• #3 Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease Treatment & Management: Approach Considerations, Long-Term Monitoring

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/246888-treatment

  Although patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) are at increased risk for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), routine screening for RCC is not recommended for most of these patients, given the relatively low incidence of RCC in the setting of ACKD and the low expected patient survival with ESKD. However, screening may be advisable and required for patients on transplant waiting lists. […] The screening schedule varies based on individual provider preferences and can range from yearly to once every 5 years. […] Schwarz et al studied RCC in kidney transplant recipients with ACKD and recommended the following screening and management protocol, incorporating the Bosniak renal cyst classification system: All recipients: Yearly ultrasound screening of the native kidneys. ACKD and Bosniak category I or II cysts (benign simple cysts): Twice-yearly ultrasound screening, computed tomography (CT) scan if progression is evident. ACKD and Bosniak category IIF (F for follow-up) cysts (moderately complex cysts): Quarterly ultrasound screening and yearly CT or magnetic resonance imaging scan; nephrectomy if progression is evident, even if the condition does not reach Bosniak category III or IV. ACKD and Bosniak category III (indeterminate cystic masses) or IV (clearly malignant cystic masses): Nephrectomy.
