5. Signs & Symptoms

Many kidney cysts don’t cause obvious symptoms. In fact, it’s not unusual for people who have them to be completely unaware. However, if cysts grow large enough, they can lead to the development of some unpleasant symptoms.

Most commonly, large kidney cysts can cause fever, upper abdominal pain, and/or dull pain that is commonly felt in the back or side. If you experience these symptoms, you may want to seek a diagnosis from your doctor.
