Kidney Cysts
Simple kidney cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on one or both kidneys. The cause of kidney cysts isn't clear, but they typically don't produce symptoms or require treatment. They may become infected, causing pain and fever. They may also burst, resulting in pain.
If a kidney cyst causes symptoms or blocks the flow of blood or urine through the kidney, a doctor may perform sclerotherapy, draining the cyst and filling it with a solution. In some cases, the cyst must be surgically removed.12‘Simple Kidney Cysts.’ National Kidney Foundation, 3 Feb. 2017, www.kidney.org/atoz/content/simple-kidney-cysts
