What are the signs of kidney cyst? Most patients with Kidney Cysts have no
symptoms. The physical examination shows normal. But sometimes it can be found a
mass. Due to the pressure increasing and infection in the cyst or cyst, patients
may appear the following symptoms:
1. Discomfort or pain in the abdomen: the reason is because kidney
enlargement or expansion make the Kidney capsular tension increasing and kidney
pedicle pulling or press the near organs. In addition, many cysts in the kidney
lead to much water in the kidney and become heavy, which can also lead to waist
pain. The feature of the pain is latent and dull in one side or both sides,
radiating to lower part and back. If there is bleeding in the cysts or secondary
infection, the waist pain will aggravate. If patients accompany with stone or
urinary obstruction by the blood clot, patients will appear renal colic.
2. Hematuria: it can manifestate gross hematuria and microscopic heamturia.
The onset is periodic and when it occurs, waist pain will become serious.
Vigorous exercise, trauma and infection can induce or deteriorate hematuria. The
reason bleeding is because there are many arterial aneurysms under the cyst
wall. If the pressure is increasing or accompanying with infection, the blood
vessels in the cyst wall will broke and bleeding due to excessive pulling.
