Kidney cysts are one of the most common structural abnormalities of the kidneys in adults, which can be divided into simple kidney cysts and complex kidney cysts. Among them, simple kidney cysts are the most common, usually unilateral or bilateral, one or more, generally about 2 cm in diameter, and there are also cysts up to 10 cm in diameter. With the increase of age, the incidence of kidney cysts gradually increases, from about 10% between the ages of 30 and 40 years, and more than 50% by the age of 80. Most patients with renal cysts do not have symptoms and may only present when the cyst compresses the vessel occlusion or urinary tract obstruction. A small number of patients may have a feeling of soreness in the lower back or acute low back pain due to bleeding from a ruptured kidney cyst, and people with co-infection may have low back pain and fever. If the diameter of the kidney cyst is more than 5 cm, or if other symptoms such as hematuria, pain, etc., may be required**. Methods include capsular fluid aspiration with intracapsular injection of sclerosing agent, surgical excision, etc.
The main symptoms of kidney cyst include:
1.Low back pain: Manifested as a dull ache that is fixed on one or both sides and may radiate to the lower back.
2.Hematuria: microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria may be present.
3.Abdominal mass: As the disease progresses further, an abdominal mass can be palpated.
4.Symptoms of infection: In the case of secondary infection, in addition to increased pain, there are symptoms such as increased body temperature and general malaise. The mass can compress the ureter or calyceal neck, causing ureteral or calyceal obstruction, which may lead to secondary infection for a long time, resulting in low back pain, fever, pyuria, leukocytosis, etc.
There are many types of kidney cysts, including:
1.Genetic factors: Congenital polycystic kidney disease is more common in autosomal dominant inheritance, and the probability of offspring developing the disease is about 25-50% for parents who carry this defective gene.
2.Infectious factors: Long-term inflammation of the kidneys or adjacent tissues increases the risk of cyst growth or other atypical growths.
3.Other factors: other factors such as dietary Xi habits, emotional conditions, and tissue damage can cause the activity of internal factors in the cyst to be enhanced, and abnormal changes in the cyst tissue can be promoted.
4.Toxins: If you are exposed to certain chemicals, radiation, pollutants, etc. for a long time, toxins stay in the body for a long time and can cause damage to various organs, which can induce kidney cysts.
** method of kidney cysts.
Kidney cysts are a common disease of the kidneys, and methods vary depending on the nature of the cyst, its size, and the patient's symptoms. Here are some common ways to have kidney cysts:
1.Observational follow-up.
For small simple kidney cysts, especially those less than 5 cm in diameter, which are usually asymptomatic and have little effect on kidney function, observation and follow-up are an option. Ultrasonography is done every 6 months to 1 year to observe the size and growth rate of the cyst. If the cyst becomes larger or symptoms appear, consider further**.
2.Drugs**.
Drugs may be used for symptomatic kidney cysts, especially if they are co-infected**. Antibiotics and other medications can reduce symptoms and reduce inflammation. However, medications** do not eliminate cysts or stop them from growing.
3.Surgery**.
Surgery** may be necessary for large kidney cysts or complex kidney cysts, such as multiple kidney cysts, cystic kidney cancer, etc. Surgical methods include cyst deroofing, laparoscopic cystectomy, etc., which can effectively remove cysts and preserve kidney function.
4.Radiation**.
Radiation can be used in cystic kidney cancer, killing cancer cells with radiation, reducing the size of the tumor and reducing symptoms. However, radiation** may cause kidney damage and other***
5.Gene**.
For genetically related diseases such as hereditary polycystic kidney disease, genes may become the pathway of the future. Through gene editing and other technologies, the diseased genes are corrected and the disease is fundamentally corrected. At present, the method is still in the research stage.
6.Diet.
Dietary conditioning has a certain auxiliary effect on the ** of kidney cysts. It is recommended to eat a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid fried, spicy, pickled and other foods.
7.Exercise exercises.
Proper exercise can strengthen the body's immunity and improve resistance. It is recommended to do aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, etc., and avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion.
8.Psychological support.
Patients with kidney cysts often feel anxious and uneasy because of pain, worry, etc. Psychological support can help patients understand the disease and the best plan, reduce psychological stress, and enhance confidence and cooperation.
