9. Prognosis

Most kidney cysts do not require treatment because they do not cause symptoms. So, the prognosis is good for individuals who have non-symptomatic cysts. However, when cysts become large enough to inhibit kidney function, the prognosis can be much more serious without treatment.

With treatment, most kidney cysts respond very well and don’t cause long-term issues. It’s important to see your doctor if you have symptomatic kidney cysts and receive treatment that improves your prognosis.
