Kidney cyst - symptoms and treatment

Kidney cysts are a fairly common disease, and with the widespread introduction of preventive ultrasound into practice, the number of patients who have kidney cysts detected at an early stage has increased significantly.

The disease affects the renal parenchyma most often in those 40-50 years of age and older and is a fluid-filled spherical cavity, which in most cases is a benign tumor. Kidney cysts, like many neoplasms detected at an early stage, can be treated without surgical intervention. The appearance of a kidney cyst can occur even in the prenatal period or as a result of external factors in a person's lifestyle. So the causes of kidney cysts include:

Shasha

alcohol

infection

radioactive impact

back pain

Hormonal changes

Disrupted circulation

How does a kidney cyst manifest itself?

Pain or intermittent in the lumbar region causes a person to see a doctor. After carrying out diagnostic procedures in such patients, kidney cysts are most often detected.

Arterial hypertension, which is increased pressure in hollow organs or blood vessels, is often a sign of kidney cysts. Symptoms of this disease include severe headaches in the back of the head, insomnia, decreased performance, and impaired vision.

Another sign that accompanies the presence of a kidney cyst is blood in the urine, which can be seen with the naked eye and during a blood test when the color of the urine does not change externally, but an increase in the content of red blood cells. detected.

Kidney cyst diagnosis
To make a diagnosis of a kidney cyst, the following tests are required:
complete blood count (to determine the number of red blood cells)
determination of the concentration of glucose, creatine, urea, and protein in the blood
Renal ultrasound examination
Computed tomography of retroperitoneal organs with contrast
Kidney function studies

Not all of them are necessary for early and early detection of renal cysts, but they will be necessary to exclude oncology or when the patient is admitted to the home for surgical intervention: specialists need to take into account and estimate all risks before and before surgery.

The need for surgical intervention at the Semeynaya clinic is determined by a high-level specialist. Most often, cysts with a diameter of less than 5 cm, which do not manifest themselves clinically, that is, do not cause disturbances in renal circulation and blood flow, surgery is not recommended. Such cysts require observation by ultrasound. The most common treatment in such cases is an ultrasound-guided puncture. The operation was successfully carried out in the Semey polyclinic hospital, but, my goodness, not all types of kidney cysts can be punctured, besides, after this operation, the disease may recur.

Laparoscopic method of kidney cyst surgical treatment

In the hospital, the "Family" operation for kidney cysts is carried out using the successful application of high-tech laparoscopic surgery, which guarantees a successful operation in any size and localization of neoplasms. This is a radical operation that involves excision of the cyst for histological examination, showing minimally invasive preservation, that is, the dimensions of 3-5 mm remain in the abdominal cavity. During laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon sees the thin anatomical formations on the monitor, which makes the operation safe and smooth. In addition, the Semeynaya clinic uses modern surgical equipment and techniques, including ultrasonic surgical scissors, which allow for bloodless surgery. To prevent relapse, argon-enriched plasma (made in the USA) can be used, with a close location of the vessels, modern hemostatic agents from leading European manufacturers are used. For the prevention of adhesive disease and thrombosis, absorbable synthetic suture materials, modern anti-adhesion barriers, and compression sutures are used.

After renal laparoscopic surgery on the first day, the patient can get out of bed and drink on his own, on the second day he can eat, and on the 3rd day, the patient can be discharged from the hospital. You can start work in 10-14 days. In the future, it is necessary to regularly observe the urologist and carry out ultrasound and CT as prescribed by the attending physician.
