Kidney cysts, also known as cystic diseases of the kidneys, are a cystic lesion on the kidneys. The main symptoms of the disease are back pain, abdominal mass and hematuria. It occurs in young and middle-aged people. The proportion of patients is about 0.001%. Among them, the incidence rate exceeds 50 in people over 50 years old. %, so this group of people should pay special attention. In the clinical diagnosis of renal cysts, the examinations required for this disease include urine routine, B-ultrasound and intravenous pyelography. At present, the cure rate for medical treatment of the disease is about 70%. Depending on the patient's specific condition, as well as the patient's physical condition and other factors, the treatment time will be different, usually in about 3 months.
Kidney cysts are not contagious as a urological disease. So how do you specifically treat the disease?
Most people have a cold, and it is considered to be a very small disease. It can even be ignored and no treatment is given. In fact, many small things can often play a very important role. Kidney damage, a cold is a major cause of illness. Therefore, patients with renal cysts should pay attention to the cold disease, and timely treatment to avoid major damage to kidney function.
Renal cysts are mainly treated with surgery. If the patient has symptoms such as waist and abdomen pain, the diameter of the cyst is greater than 4 cm, resulting in a sense of oppression, or cystic secondary bleeding, infection, rupture, etc., medically considered to require surgery. Laparoscopic renal cyst decompression, in the current medical clinical, is the main surgical treatment of renal cysts. The risk of this type of surgery is relatively small, the treatment is also very effective, and the trauma is small, the body recovers quickly after surgery, and the recurrence rate is also low. Therefore, this type of surgery is widely used in the clinical surgical treatment of renal cysts.
Patients with renal cysts, if excretory urography, renal tomography, ultrasound imaging and CT have not made a definitive diagnosis, then should be done angiography, percutaneous cyst puncture. The aspirate can be examined by cytology to determine the amount of fat. If the fat content is increased, it is a kidney cyst. The cyst fluid is then drained and replaced with a contrast agent. Before the contrast agent is withdrawn, 3 ml of iodine ester lipid is injected into the cyst to reduce the possibility of fluid volume pressure causing lesions. According to medical data, if 95% of alcohol is injected into the empty capsule, only 1 of 29 patients have recurrence.
Kidney cysts also have the possibility of cancer, so it is necessary to conduct surgery through exploration. According to medical data, in 1971, when Ambrose performed surgery on 55 patients with renal cysts, 5 cases were confirmed to have cancer, accounting for 9%. In this case, only the extrarenal part of the cyst can be removed. If the kidney damage is really serious, it is quite possible to remove the kidney.
If the condition of the renal cyst is mild, or the rate of development of the lesion is slow, there is no lesion such as compression obstruction. Under normal circumstances, there is no need for surgical treatment, that is, surgery, and there is no need to take some drugs. Because this phenomenon does not affect the daily life and the safety of life, it is only necessary to review the B-ultrasound every six months or one year.
