What Is a Kidney Cyst?
6. Complications
There are several complications associated with kidney cysts. They include cyst infection, urine obstruction, and burst cyst. An infected cyst is one that has become infected. When this occurs, it can cause extreme pain and fever. An infected cyst should always be checked out by a doctor.
A urine obstruction occurs when a kidney cyst obstructs urine flow. This can lead to swelling within the kidney, which is referred to as hydronephrosis. Finally, a kidney cyst can burst, causing severe and debilitating pain. It’s very important to check with your doctor about treatment options if you experience any of these complications.
